About Deleting Policies

Before you delete a policy, check to be sure it is not one of a pair of policies required when consumer and provider are in different scopes.

To determine this: Click the link for the policy in the Protocols and Ports column. In the panel that opens on the right side of the page, look at the Protocols and Ports section. Policies created by accepting a cross-scope policy request are indicated by a plus sign beside the port and protocol:

Click the plus sign to see the creator of the cross-scope policy and a link to the corresponding consumer policy.

Policies suggested by automatic policy discovery that have not been approved may not be present after a subsequent policy discovery run, if the traffic flows that produced them are not seen during the subsequent run. To preserve suggested policies, see Approve Policies.
