Delete a Project Policy Template

Project Policies determine how users are allowed to interact with specific Eclipse PPM Projects. They are often used to give Project teams and Resources access to specific Project components so they can carry out and record their work. Members of these policies are given permissions to interact with a specific Project; these policies cannot be used to provide users with any permissions outside of the Project.

Project Policy Templates are created by administrators the exact same way Project Policies are created on individual Projects; permissions are selected and users are added as members. Once a Project Policy Template is complete, it can be applied to multiple Projects as a Project Policy in order prevent users from having to create the same Project Policy over and over for each Project.

Once Project Policy Templates are no longer needed, administrators can easily delete them from Eclipse PPM. Once deleted, they can no longer be applied to Projects.

Note: Deleting a Project Policy Template will not delete any Project Policies from Projects it was applied to. If any Project Policies should be deleted as well, you will need to reach out to Project teams to notify them.

Note: Deleted Project Policy Templates cannot be recovered. If you mistakenly delete one, you will need to recreate it.

To delete a Project Policy Template:

Before You Start: Users require the "User Administration" permission from an Application Policy to delete Project Policy Templates.

  1. Select the Administration icon from the Icon Bar.

  2. Select Policies from the "Security" menu.

  3. Select the drop-down button of the Project Policy Template you would like to delete.

  4. Select Delete Policy.

  5. Select the Yes button.

After selecting Yes, the Project Policy Template will be deleted from Eclipse PPM.

Note: Keep in mind that deleting a Project Policy Template will not result in any deleted corresponding Project Polices. If any corresponding Project Policies should be deleted as well, administrators should reach out to Project teams and instruct them to manually delete them.
