Managing policies

You can use policies to apply identical Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings to all client computers within an administration group.

You can locally change the values of settings specified by a policy for individual computers in an administration group using Kaspersky Endpoint Security. You can locally change only those settings whose modification is not prohibited by the policy.

The ability to change application settings on the client computer is determined by the status of the “lock” on these settings in the policy properties:

After the policy is applied for the first time, local application settings change in accordance with the policy settings.

The rights to access policy settings (read, write, execute) are specified for each user who has access to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server and separately for each functional scope of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. To configure the rights to access policy settings, go to the Security section of the properties window of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

The following functional scopes of Kaspersky Endpoint Security are singled out:

Basic functionality. This functional scope includes general application settings that are not specified for other functional scopes, including: licensing, inventory tasks, application database and module update tasks, Self-Defense, advanced application settings, reports and storages, password protection and application interface settings.
