Creating and Modifying Global Parameters in Policy Editor

If you change global variables for policies, the change takes effect the next time a service is activated; the change does not take effect for active service sessions.

You can create a global parameter from the Parameters folder and from within a policy.

To create a global parameter from the Parameters folder:

  1. In the Policy Editor navigation pane, right-click the Parameters folder, and select New > Parameter.

  3. Select the new parameter in the navigation pane.

The Parameter pane appears.
