Multi-user Editing
The Management Server enables multiple Clients to connect to it. The Management Server enables one user at a time to edit a Policy, protecting your work from being overwritten by someone else.
The rules work in a similar way to books in a library. When someone is editing a Policy, they have it checked out. Another user cannot edit the information in that Policy until the user editing the Policy either commits all the changes by checking the Policy in or reverting all the changes by undoing the check out.
Rules:
Check Out - When a user is editing a Policy, the Policy is "checked out" and cannot be edited by anyone else. To check out a Policy, click the Policy tab and click Check Out. If someone else is already editing the Policy, you will be presented with a pop-up message informing you that someone is already editing the Policy.
Check In - When the user editing the Policy performs a "check in" operation, they are committing all the changes that they have made and allowing other users to edit the Policy. To check in a Policy, click the Policy tab and click Check In. Optionally, you can add a comment to describe the changes you have made.
Undo Check Out - When the user editing the Policy performs an "undo check out" operation, they are reverting all the changes that they have made since they checked the Policy out and allowing other users to edit the Policy. To undo a check out operation, click the Policy tab and click Undo Check Out.
Audit Log
When a Policy has been changed and checked in by a user, an entry appears in the Audit History list. When a Policy has been altered to a state where it is no longer functioning, you can use the Audit History to see the changes that were made and then reverse them.
To view the details of the changes, double-click the entry in the Audit History.
Select each object in the list to view the changes that were made. The Action displays the type of alteration that was made. When the Action is Modified, the list at the bottom of the dialog displays the values that were changed.
