Understanding Policy Profiles

Policy profiles are used by Code Insight to automate the inventory review process—that is, automatically mark published inventory items as approved or rejected—without the need for a manual review. (Inventory that are neither approved or rejected by policy will require a manual review.) Policy profiles can be defined up-front or revised during the manual inventory review process. The Code Insight Administrator grants the Manage Policy role to users who have rights to manage policy profiles. Typically, these would be legal or security experts.

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.
