Delete a Security Policy

You may delete a policy in Juniper Security Director Cloud if:

  • A new policy is created for the device.

  • The existing policy is obsolete.

  • The policy was updated directly on the device.

  • The policy was not deployed after it was imported from the device.

After you reassign all devices in a policy to a different policy or import the device policy, you must deploy both the policies simultaneously to delete the old policy.

You cannot edit the security policy that is marked to be deleted. However, you can edit the rules for the policy.

  1. Go to SRX > Security Policy > SRX Policy.
    The Security Policies page is displayed.
  2. If devices were never assigned to the policy, perform the following steps:
    1. Select the policy and click the delete icon.
    2. Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the policy.
      The policy is deleted in Juniper Security Director Cloud.
  3. If one or more devices are assigned to the policy, perform the following steps:
    1. Select the policy and click the edit icon.
      The Edit Security Policy page is displayed.
    2. Unassign the devices, click OK, and then click Yes
      The number of unassigned devices is displayed in the Status column in the Security Policies page.
    3. Reassign the devices to a different policy or import the policy from the device.
    4. Select both the old and new policies and click Deploy.
      The Deploy page is displayed.
    5. Click OK.
      Jobs are created to undeploy the existing policy from the devices and the new policy on the devices. You can view the job status on the Jobs page.
