Identify the groups and systems where policy inheritance is broken.
For example, if you have policies with broken inheritance configured for some groups, use this task to confirm the policies are set correctly.
Select Menu → Systems → System Tree, then click Assigned Policies tab.
All assigned policies, organized by product, appear in the details pane. The policy row, under Broken Inheritance, displays the number of groups and systems where this policy's inheritance is broken.
Note
This number is the number of groups or systems where the policy inheritance is broken, not the number of systems that do not inherit the policy. For example, if only one group does not inherit the policy, 1 doesn't inherit appears, regardless of the number of systems within the group.
Click the link indicating the number of child groups or systems that have broken inheritance.
The View broken inheritance page displays a list of the names of these groups and systems.
