Delete a Policy

You can delete a policy from CA Access Control Enterprise Management when the policy is no longer assigned to a host or host group.

Important! When you delete a policy (GPOLICY object), CA Access Control Enterprise Management deletes all its policy versions (POLICY objects) and the RULESET object associated with each policy version.

To delete a policy

1. In CA Access Control Enterprise Management click Policy Management, then the Policy subtab, and expand the Policy tree in the task menu on the left.

   The Policy tasks appear.

2. Click Delete Policy.

   The Delete Policy: Policy Search screen appears.

3. Define a scope for the search, and click Search.

   A list of policies, which match the scope of the search you defined, appears.

4. Select the policy you want to delete, and click Select.

   A message appears asking if you want to delete the policy.

5. Click Yes.

   The policy is deleted.

Note: You can also use the policydeploy utility to perform this task. For more information about the policydeploy utility, see the Reference Guide.
