Having a little difficulty with Policies? Maybe you want a little more information on them? I know that they are very powerful tools, but can also be somewhat daunting.
First, if you are not familiar with them, what are Policies?
Using a policy, you control how users work with IBM® Lotus® Notes®. A policy is a document that identifies a collection of individual policy settings documents. Each of these policy settings documents defines a set of defaults that apply to the users and groups to which the policy is assigned. Once a policy is in place, you can easily change a setting, and it will automatically apply to those users to whom the policy is assigned
