Understanding policies and policy actions

A policy is a set of rules that includes actions, which determine what Cisco WebEx features are available to groups of users or to the entire Cisco WebEx Organization. Thus, a policy can include one or more actions, which are enabled or disabled. For example, a customer who wants to restrict certain Cisco WebEx capabilities for Contractors can create a policy named Contractor Policy. This policy can restrict the capabilities that need to be disabled by setting specific actions to FALSE. For instance, Contractor Policy may disable External File Transfer and External IM for Contractors as shown in the following graphic.

An action is a Cisco WebEx capability that can be controlled through policies. For example, the External File Transfer action corresponds to the capability of exchanging files with users outside the Cisco WebEx Organization.
