Policy Action Rules​

Policy action rules deliver notifications to defined contacts when a policy is violated or flagged. Each severity level of policy action rule is associated with its own set of contacts, allowing you to direct notifications to the appropriate team members.

You can associate any number of contacts with a policy action rule. For information on managing contacts, see the Contacts topic.

Role requirements​

To view, edit, enable, disable, delete, and add policy action rules, you must be assigned the Admin role.
