Policy Manager lets you create service groups into which you can group Local and Global services. A service group can contain any number of services, as well as other service groups. A service can be a part of more than one group.
Instructions on:
Creating a Service Group
- Select the left-panel Services tab. Expand the Local Services or Global Services folder.
- Right-click on the Service Groups folder and select Create Service Group. This expands the Service Groups folder and creates a "New Service Group" item.
- Type the service group name in the highlighted box and press Enter. You can now add services to the service group. Once a service group has been created at the top level under the Service Groups folder, it can be added to another service group.
Adding Services to a Service Group
A service group can contain any number of services, as well as other service groups. You can add services to a service group using the following methods:
- Dragging and dropping services: You can drag and drop a single service from the left panel to the service group, or drag and drop multiple services from the right-panel Details View.
- Dragging and dropping service groups: You can drag and drop a single service group from the left panel to the service group, or drag and drop multiple service groups from the right-panel Details View.
- Using the Add/Remove Services/Service Groups menu option: Right-click the service group and select Add/Remove Services/Service Groups. In the Add/Remove Services window, select the services or service groups you want to add, and click Add. Click OK.
Removing Services from a Service Group
Use the following steps to remove a service or service group from a service group. Removing a service from a service group does not delete the service itself. If you want to delete the service itself, see Deleting a Service. Keep in mind that if you change the contents of a service group, Policy Manager automatically updates the services list for any role that the service group is associated with, affecting the rules that are in the role.
- Right-click the service group from which you wish to remove services, and select Add/Remove Services.
- In the Add/Remove Services window, select the services or service groups you want to remove from the service group, and click Remove.
- Click OK.
Alternatively, you can right-click a service or service group and select Remove Service(s) from Group or Remove Service Group(s) from Group from the menu.
