After you create a policy, you can modify, clone, or delete the policy based on your business requirements. This topic describes how to modify, clone, or delete a policy.
Prerequisites
The policy that you want to modify, clone, or delete must be a custom policy. You cannot modify, clone, or delete system policies.
Modify a policy
If the policy that is associated with your cloud desktop cannot meet your business requirements, you can modify the configurations of the policy. This following section describes how to modify the configurations of a policy.
Procedure

- In the upper-left corner of the top navigation bar, select a region.
- On the Policies page, find the policy that you want to modify and click Change Policy in the Actions column.
- In the Change Policy panel, modify the configurations of the policy based on your business requirements. You can modify the policy name and policy configurations. For more information, see Create a policy.Important If a policy that takes effect on all CIDR blocks is associated with a cloud desktop, you cannot specify a CIDR block on which the policy takes effect. If you want the policy to take effect on a specific CIDR block, you must disassociate the policy from the cloud desktop and specify the CIDR block on which the policy takes effect. You can also clone the policy or create a policy, and specify the CIDR block on which the new policy takes effect.
