• Check the “FullCtl Manged” box. This will pull in the information from the Peer Groups policy that was created. FullCtl Managed means that FullCtl will create and delete policies as needed, if you’re using externally controlled policies, leaving this box unchecked will mean that FullCtl does not touch any policy config.
• Export Policy: Enter the slug used when creating the policy.
• Check the “FullCtl Manged” box. This will pull in the information from the Peer Groups policy that was created.
• Peer Group: field can be blank.
