NOTE:

You can use partial values in conjunction with wildcards (*) to specify all applicable

values. For example, for a Run Script action you can type a script name of ACME*.pl. This
policy will apply to all Run Script actions that are defined to run Perl-based scripts with names
starting with "ACME". Other examples include *.log, which applies to all .log files on the
device, and notepad.exe which applies only to the notepad.exe application on the device.

Considerations when Creating Permissions

Make sure only actions that need an Ask for Approval access right are defined with that permission.
For example, if you specify an Ask for Approval access right for the Set Data Item Values action,
every time the server attempts to set a data item on a device, the device needs to contact the Policy
Manager to request approval from the user specified for that device. Until users grant permission
for actions that need approval, the Policy Manager queues those actions, which can lead to
degradation in the system performance.
