This page describes how the Gateway Policy Editor allows administrators to view and manage policies and access their definitions.
Accessing the Gateway Policy Editor
To access the Gateway Policy Editor :
- Log in to the Mimecast Administration Console.
- Select the Policies | Gateway Policies menu item. Your available policy types are listed, with any that have policies configured displayed in bold. The list displays the following information:
| Field/Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Policy Name | Displays the policy name. |
| Description | Displays a description of the policy's purpose. |
| Policies | Displays the number of configured policies. |
| Definitions | Displays the number of configured definitions. If no definitions are required for a policy (e.g., an Anti-Spoofing policy), the column displays N/A. You can display any configured definitions or create a new one by clicking on the Definitions button. |
| Tell Me More | Click on this button to access the Knowledge Base page for the relevant policy. |
Listing Configured Policies
To either display a list of configured policies for a policy type or to create a new policy:
- Click on a Policy Type. The icons displayed under the Policy and Narrative columns indicate the status of configured policies as follows:
-
-
- The policy is unidirectional and applies one way, either to inbound or outbound mail.
- The policy is bidirectional and applies to both inbound and outbound mail.
- The policy is disabled and inactive.
- The policy is enabled and active.
-
Accessing a Policy Type's Definitions
Two buttons are displayed at the top of the Gateway Policy Editor:
- The Definitions button displays a list of definitions. Click on one to navigate directly to that definition's listing. The resulting page is the same as navigating to the specific policy type and clicking on the Definitions button.
- The Consolidated Policy Viewer button displays a list of all configured definitions for each policy type.
