Understanding Policy Profiles

FlexNet Code Insight 2018 R3

Policy profiles are used by FlexNet Code Insight to automate the inventory review process—that is, automatically mark published inventory items as approved, rejected, or requiring a manual review—without the need for a manual review. Policy profiles can be defined up-front or revised during the manual inventory review process. The system administrator grants the Policy Management permission to users who have rights to manage policy profiles. Typically, these would be legal or security users. (For more information, see “Creating a User” in the FlexNet Code Insight Installation and Configuration Guide.)

Code Insight provides a default policy profile (called Default License Policy Profile) that can be used as is, modified, or copied to fit your need. This policy profile contains typical settings for a team who is distributing software. You can also create policies from scratch.
