Lightbulb BES 5.0 policy recommendations

Please Login to Remove!

Hi,

I'm designing our new BES5.0 cut-over system and I would like to take advantage of the IT policy inheritance features and i'm trying to get my head around it.

I've struggled to find any in-depth documentation on this subject so if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

Firstly, am I right in thinking that a group can only have one policy 'directly' applied to it?

What I want to do is have one base policy for all users/devices and then tag on extra policies for certain users that, for example, force encryption or add a Wifi profile.

If a group can only have one policy am I better using child groups or assigning multiple groups to users?

I've noticed that if a group is in a child group for several groups all the other groups are added as 'indirect groups' on my users. Is this right?

Another question. What are the point of Wifi profiles? I don't seem to be able to apply these to IT policies or groups, only users.


Thanks!
