Deactivating policies

To stop collecting the information detected by a policy you need to deactivate it. A green (On) activation slider indicates an activated policy.

When you deactivate a policy, its associated agent component is not removed from the policy group's devices, it is just deactivated. The component is only removed when you submit an Unenroll Device request to remove the Secure Endpoint Agent from a device.

For information about deactivating a Playbooks policy, see Getting started with Playbooks policies.

To deactivate a policy:

  1. Log in to the Secure Endpoint Console as a user with Manage permissions for Policies.

  2. On the navigation bar, click Policies > Policy Groups.
  3. On the Policy Groups sidebar, click the policy group that contains the policy you want to deactivate.

  4. Find the policy that you want to deactivate and click its green (On) activation slider.

    You can't deactivate the Hardware policy.

  5. On the Deactivate Policy confirmation message click Deactivate.

  6. Click Close to close the confirmation message.

The policy's activation slider is now set to Off and the policy is deactivated. No further information related to this policy will be collected from the devices associated with this policy group.
