Add a new client policy

To add a new client policy:

1. Select the Policies category and then click Tasks > Add in the right pane. The Policy Properties dialog opens.
2. The left pane contains a navigation tree allowing you to select a group of options to configure.
3. Make sure the Policy node is selected and then specify a policy name and an optional description.
4. In the Browse Mode drop-down list, select how you want to browse for users and groups. The preferred mode is Secure Identifier (default). Other options exist for backward compatibility.
5. In the Apply policy to section, click Tasks > Add (or click the plus sign icon) and specify the target users, computers, or groups. Note that in addition to users, user groups and security principles, you can search for and specify Active Directory computer accounts and computer security groups.

Configure criteria for the client policy

By default, a client policy applies to configured users, computers, and groups in all situations. You can optionally define criteria when the policy should be applied. This functionality allows you to create different policies for the same user or computer, which will be applied depending on where the user is connecting from and from which device.

To create new criteria:

1. Select Criteria (under the Policy node) in the left pane.
2. In the "gateway criteria" section, select the criteria type in the first drop-down list and then specify the values (if applicable) in the second drop-down list.
3. In the "MAC address criteria" section, select the criteria type in the first drop-down list and then specify the values (if applicable) in the second drop-down list.
4. In the "Parallels Clients" section, select the version of Parallels Client to which this policy should apply.
