A user is unable to edit a policy with the appropriate permission sets assigned

Technical Articles ID: KB92725
Last Modified: 4/17/2020

Environment

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 5.10.x, 5.9.x

Problem

Users are unable to edit a policy in the product policy catalog, despite having the required permission sets.

After you create a permission set for a user to View and change policy and task settings, the user is unable to edit the policy.

NOTE: Administrators can edit the policies as needed.

Cause

This behavior is expected. At the time of creation, each policy is by default assigned only to administrators.

Solution

To allow a new non-administrator to edit an existing policy, you must assign ownership to that user for the policy as follows:

Log on to the ePO console.
Open the Policy Catalog.
Select the policy.
Click the Administrators link.
Add the required non-administrator users.
Save your changes.

NOTE: The above does not apply to any McAfee Default Policy, because these policies are not editable by default.
