Carbon Black Cloud: Does changing the name of a Policy have any impact on end-users?

Products

• Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)
• Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR (formerly Cb Threathunter)

Issue/Introduction

If the name for an existing Policy is changed, does that have any user impact?

Environment

• Carbon Black Cloud Console: All Versions
• Endpoint Standard: All Supported Versions

Resolution

No, there is no end-user impact associated with changing the name of a given Policy

Additional Information

• The name of the Policy is not visible to end-users unless that is part of the 'Sensor UI: Detail Message' below the Target Value on the General tab for the Policy
• If other settings are modified, there can be changes that end-users would be able to see/notice
• Existing Sensors installed into a Policy will remain in their assigned Policy, and any new installations using the GROUP_NAME="<PolicyName>" parameter via command line interface (cli) will need to reference the updated name(s)
