System resource policy overview
System resource policies let you control the amount of system resources that Connected Agents consume. For example, you can set the maximum amount of network bandwidth that Agents use to upload and download files. The following list describes the key concepts of system resource policies.
| Policy components |
Each system resource policy contains the following components:
|
|
Default system resource behavior |
By default, Connected does not limit the amount of system resources that Agents use to upload or download files. |
| Ability to lock policy components |
You can lock certain policy components to prevent users or components in another policy from overriding them. A group policy always overrides unlocked components of the corporate-level policy or policies applied to the group's direct ancestors. Through Agent preference settings, users can override, but not exceed, unlocked values set by policy. |
| Policy status |
When you create a system resource policy, you can either publish it or save it as a draft. Published policies take effect immediately. The Policies page identifies the status of system resource policies using these icons:
