- If you select PropertyRead in the Action field, enter the property name to view in the Property field.
- Click Search policies.
- Review the results, and then update the policy as needed.If any results are found:
- Hover over the Policy condition column to display the conditions that are applied in the policy.
- If you selected a PropertyRead action, click the value in the Policy scope column to display the properties that the policy secures and which restriction method the policy applies to those properties.
- In the Actions column, choose one of the following actions
for each policy.
- Open the policy rule form.
- Create a policy in the target class that you specified in the search.
- Withdraw the policy.
If no results are found, you can create a new policy by clicking Create policy. - If you make any changes to the policies (for example, the policy name or action), click Search policies again to refresh the result.
