Issue/Introduction

You make policy changes on the Centralized Console and apply them to your scanner group. You notice that only some changes are made locally.

Environment

SPE 8.0, 8.0.1, 8.1

Cause

Not all settings in the centralized console are compatible with older versions of SPE. Only SPE 8.2 supports all of the non-AWS settings in the cloud console as of the writing of this article.

Resolution

See the following document for a list of settings in the cloud console and versions of SPE that support them.

If a setting on the console is not supported by your version of SPE, you will need to make the change locally.
