Assigning Access Policies
Depending on what you are doing, you can assign access policies either from the Access Policies view by selecting the policy and assigning users, groups or personas to it or from the Users, Groups or Personas view by selecting the user, group or persona and then assigning the access policy to them.
You can assign access policies from the Proofpoint predefined access policies and Custom Access Polices you create.
Assigning Access Policies from the Access Policy View
Use this option when you want to assign access policies to users, groups or personas.
For example, your company has 2 access policies, executives have full access and the administration staff has view only access. From the Access Policy view, you can select the policy and then assign it to the specific employees. When there are changes in personnel, you can simply add/remove the relevant employees.
