Working with default policies

Default policies are the policies applied to a device automatically when it is registered. Default policy values are also used as a starting point when you create a custom policy. Ivanti EPMM provides the values for each default policy specification. It is recommended that you create your own policies. You can use the settings in the default policies as a starting point. If you do edit a default policy’s values (not recommended), those new values become the starting point when you create a new custom policy.

Unlike configurations, a device can have only one policy of each type.

Ivanti EPMM provides defaults for the following policy types:

• Security (Refer to Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM for details.)
• Privacy (Refer to Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM for details.)
• Lockdown (Refer to Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM for details.)
• Sync (Refer to Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM for details.)
• ActiveSync (See “Working with ActiveSync policies” in the Ivanti Standalone Sentry Guide for EPMM.)
• AppConnect global policy (Refer to the AppConnect Guide for EPMM.)

You cannot delete default policies.

The default settings for each policy type are listed in the section for each type.
