Enforce a Policy Template

You can enforce a policy template separately to each product or enforce a common policy template to the entire portfolio. If you enforce a policy template at the portfolio level, it is applied to all the products associated with the portfolio.

Note:

Before you enforce a policy template, ensure that in the Policy Templates section in General Settings, you have selected the desired option to associate a policy template at a product or portfolio level.



Enforce a Policy Template on a Product

A user with permissions to create or edit a product in the Calibo Accelerate platform can enforce a published policy template on a product. The user must have access to the template to apply it.

To enforce a policy template on a product, while creating or editing that product, on the Others tab, in the Policy Template (Optional) field, you see the following templates:

  • Default template (if a template is marked as default)

  • Templates you have created

  • Templates to which you have been added as an Administrator.

Select the desired policy template and save the product details.

Note:

The Policy Template (Optional) field is disabled if your administrator has configured a global setting to apply a policy template at the portfolio level, or you do not have access to the policy template already assigned to the product. For any questions, please contact your administrator.



After a template is enforced, the tools, technologies, deployment modes, and deployment stages that are configured in the template are available to users and teams working on that product.

This serves as a guardrail for product teams, ensuring adherence to organizational policies and regulations.
