Policy Inheritance and Customization
If you create a new security policy, it will inherit dope.swg’s Base Policy. You can adapt a policy to your individual user needs. And you can undo any policy changes by just reverting back to the dope.swg Base Policy. It's simple. It’s safe.
Inheritance
Any new policy you create will inherit the entire base policy. An “Inherits Base” tag is visible in all the policy screens to highlight this.


For a policy that inherits from base, you can jump back to the base policy by hovering over the “Inherits Base” tag . This will change to a “Go to Base Policy” tag
when hovering. If you choose to select, you will be taken to the same policy section of the Base Policy.
Customization
A policy section will become customized once any edits are made to that section.
Once a policy section is customized, any edits made within the policy section will only affect that policy.
A policy has the following sections:
Dope Categories (includes Custom Categories)
Cloud Application Control
