Modifying and deleting policies

Who can modify policies

Any system administrator, and the domain administrator for the domain where the policy resides can modify the policy. The user who created the policy can also modify it.

Modifying policies requires technical understanding of how networks handle content, as well as knowledge of your organization's goals and guidelines for distributing content. For this reason, only qualified personnel should modify policies.
