Creating a policy document
When you create a policy, you use a Policy document to specify which policy settings documents to include. You can create policy settings documents before you create the policy document, or you can create them while you create the Policy document.
About this task
If you are creating an exception policy, include only the policy settings documents that have settings whose values you do not want to enforce. For each setting you do not want to enforce, change the value as required. Exceptions are made at the policy setting level. When the effective policy settings are resolved, any settings you specify in the exception policy apply.
If you are creating a dynamic policy you can use the Policy Assignment tab to assign the policy to users and groups while you are creating the policy.
Policy document names
About this task
The names of Policy documents must be in one of the following formats. However, when you create a Policy document, you do not have to include the asterisk (*) or slash (/) when you enter a policy name. Domino adds them for you depending on the type of policy you specify.
*/organization
--
an organizational policy that is automatically applied at the organization
level
*/organizational unit/organization
--
an organizational policy that is automatically applied to an organizational
unit
*

automatically applied to everyone in the Domino Directory

at any organizational level
