Issue/Introduction

What is the purpose and expected use of the grayed out policies in the Endpoint Standard Console?

Environment

• Endpoint Standard Console: All Supported Versions

Resolution

• If the organization was created after July 5, 2017:
  • Endpoint Standard Console> Enforce> Policies, there are 3 prenamed policies that come standard 'out of the box' with CB Defense:
    • Monitored, Standard, Advanced

• If the organization was created before July 5, 2017:
  • Endpoint Standard Console> Enforce> Policies, there are 5 prenamed policies that come standard 'out of the box' with CB Defense:
    • Detection Servers, Restrictive Mac Workstation, Restrictive Windows Workstation, Standard Mac Workstation, and Standard Windows Workstation

• These policies serve as a starting point for Carbon Black Cloud policy creation.
• Rules, Permissions, and other settings in these policies can be edited, but they are grayed out and "locked" because they cannot be deleted or renamed.
