Inherit access control policy settings from the base policy

Configure a child access control policy to inherit settings from a base policy or override them with custom configurations.

Child access control policies inherit many settings from their base policy by default. If these settings are unlocked in the base policy, you can override them.

If you later reinherit the settings from the base policy, the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center displays the base policy's settings and dims the controls. However, it saves the overrides you made and restores them if you disable inheritance again.

Procedure

Step 1

In the access control policy editor, click Security Intelligence, or select HTTP Responses, Logging, Encrypted Visibility Engine, or Advanced Settings from the More drop-down arrow at the end of the packet flow line

Step 2

Check the Inherit from (base policy) check box for each setting you want to inherit.

If the controls are dimmed, settings are inherited from an ancestor policy, or you do not have permission to modify the configuration.

Step 3

Click Save.
