Inheritance rules

You can set sections to be inherited from other policies. To do this:

  1. Select the module and the sections you want the current policy to inherit and click Apply.

    All sections are inheritable, except those under General > Policy.

  2. Specify the policy you want to inherit the section from.

  3. Click the add-icon_mdr_204803_en.png Add button at the right side of the table.

If a source policy is deleted, the inheritance breaks and the settings of the inherited sections are stored on the child policy.

Inherited sections cannot be further inherited by other policies.

Example. Inherited rule mechanics

Policy A inherits the Antimalware > On-Demand section from policy B. Policy C cannot inherit the Antimalware > On-Demand section from policy A.
