Creating new policies
When a user authenticates, Sametime applies a default policy if no other policy can be found for that user. You can create new policies by copying and editing the policy template. To create a new policy, follow these steps.
Procedure
- Remote into the Sametime server and locate the policies.user.xml file.
- Copy the default policy and save in a different folder. For more information, refer to Default Sametime Premium policy template.
- Open the file using a text or XML editor.
-
Edit the values inside the commented lines that begin with
<!—
and end with--!>
. -
Remove the comment syntax
<! –
and--!>
. - Increase the policy weight. Each policy weight must be unique. See Changing a user policy’s weight for the steps.
- Assign the policy to a group. See Assigning users and groups to policies for the steps.
- Save and close the file.
- For the policy to take immediate effect, restart the Sametime server. Otherwise, the policy refresh happens once per hour.
