General and Platform-Specific Policy Advantages

ZENworks 4 gives you easier administration by selecting policies in one place (the general page) and applying to all types of workstations that your users access. At the same time, you do not lose the ability to have unique policies for each platform, because the general policies can be overridden by a platform-specific policy (alternate platform page).

Regardless of the users who are logged into the system, each workstation finds the policies associated with it for that user, whether the policies come from the general policies or from the platform specific set, and executes the administrative configurations for that workstation.

On some occasions, you might want to associate a particular, unique policy to a set of users who are housed in containers along with other users of the same type. You can then create a group of users and associate specific policies to those users by associating the policy package to the user group. Consequently, these users receive the policies from this group rather than from the container.
