Important! Before using CA DataMinder for the first time after installation, we strongly recommend you choose a new default group and define a restrictive policy for this group.
A user group is a collection of associated users that share a common policy. Each group has its own customizable policy, providing you with a centralized but highly flexible method of user administration. When new users add themselves to CA DataMinder, they are automatically assigned to the default group. You make any user group the default group.
Why is this a problem? The default group is effectively a holding group until you can move new users into more appropriate groups. But when you use CA DataMinder for the first time, there is only one existing group. This is the 'Users' group and so it is automatically set to be the default group. Of necessity, 'Users' has—and must have—a non-restrictive policy: no settings are disabled, enforced or hidden.
This means any new user who inherits this policy has complete freedom to change any setting in their policy. In other words, they could potentially define their own policy to dodge the rules in your organization governing acceptable Web and email usage. But you can easily prevent this by choosing a default group with a restrictive policy. That is, key policy settings are enforced, hidden or disabled. This ensures that new users adhere to the rules governing acceptable Web and email usage.
