About overriding policy settings from a parent group
By default, no policies are assigned to the Global group, but any policies assigned to the Global group can be inherited by all groups and appliances. Similarly, specific feature sets in individual policies can be enabled. In that case, they override the values that would otherwise be inherited from a parent group.
You can also assign different policies directly to groups and appliances. For flexibility, the policy you apply can also be configured to inherit or override specific feature-set values from the nearest parent group.
For example, in the Policies page:
• a group uses optimization policy accG, whose in-path rules feature set specifies four in-path rules.
• an appliance in that group uses optimization policy accA, whose in-path rules feature set specifies only three rules.
• Unselect the Enable Rule option for in-path rules in the accA policy definition to ensure that the appliance uses the accG in-path rules settings.
