Profiles can be tailored to fit the needs of your organization. This includes turning on or off certain groups and rules as well as choosing an alternate value as allowed within the benchmark definition.

Steps to clone

  1. On the left, right-click on the profile that you want to clone and select Clone from the context menu.
  2. Enter the new name for the profile.
  3. Click OK.

This will create another profile in the list, next to the original profile within the same benchmark.

Selecting groups and rules

If you do not want certain rules to be enforced within your new profile, simply uncheck the rule(s) or group(s) and click Save. The next time this profile is analyzed on the managed computers, these rules will not be evaluated or scored.

Choosing alternate values

Values to the right of the rules are the allowable selections for the rules, as defined in the benchmark definition. To override the default selection, simply select an alternate value to be enforced the next time the profile is analyzed. Click Save once finished.

Defining values for rules outside the available ones defined within the benchmark is not supported in this release. If you wish to accomplish this, you'll need to define a new benchmark using a SCAP content editing tool and import it into the database.
