Assigning a Compliance Policy

About this task

Assign a compliance policy to devices to determine which ones are compliance. You can assign a compliance policy immediately after creating it or create a compliance policy and then assign it later.

Note: You can assign many compliance policies to the same device. The device is non-compliant if it meets the criteria of one compliance policy, even if it passes all the rest.

To assign a compliance policy to devices:

Procedure

  1. In the Policies > Compliance view, select on a compliance policy's name to open its Compliance Policy Information panel and select the Assign button from the Compliance Policy Actions list.
    You can also right-click on the compliance policy and select > Assign.
    The Assign dialog box opens - see Assign (Compliance Policy).
  2. On the Devices tab of the Assign dialog box, select the device groups or devices that you want the compliance policy to target.
  3. Optional: Open the Users tab to choose which devices within the selected groups get assigned to the compliance policy. Select one or more directory service or identity provider (IdP) groups to specify that devices belonging to that group are either included or excluded from the compliance policy assignment.
  4. Optional: Move to the Filters tab to define filter criteria that further refines which devices receive the compliance policy.
    Filter criteria use the same filtering logic as the Devices view search. You can use a limited set of device and extended properties to create filters.
  5. When you're finished, select Assign.

Results

The new compliance policy is now active. It will run on a device each time the device checks in to SOTI MobiControl. You can also run it immediately on all its target devices with the Run compliance policy action.
