How do I add/assign a policy to a person?

CloudPunch makes it easy to assign policies to your employees, whether you want to apply policies to entire departments or individual users.

Assign a policy to a department:

1. Log in to the CloudPunch cloud portal.
2. Click on Places in the side menu.
3. Select the department from the Departments section.
4. Click on the Policies subtab.
5. Review the rules for each policy currently assigned to the department. Click on a policy to see a more detailed view.
6. Click + Assign or Replace Policy on the top right-hand side of the page to view all available policies listed by policy type.
7. Click a policy type to open the dropdown menu.
8. Select the policy you want to assign.
9. If there was no previous policy of that type, the new policy will be automatically added.
10. If there was a previous policy of that type, confirm the changes by clicking Confirm and Assign to apply the policy changes or Cancel to discard the changes.
11. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Save to update your changes. If you do not click Save, the policies will not be updated.

Note: If a person has a policy already assigned, adding or replacing a policy at the department level will not override the individual policy. You will need to update the person's policy accordingly.
