Associate an Access Policy Group to a Volume Associating access policy groups to volumes can be achieved in two ways, depending on how many access policy groups you want to assign to how many volumes. You can either select a single access policy group and choose which volumes you want to associate it with, or you can select a single volume and choose which policy groups you want to associate it with. If you need to associate only one access policy group to one volume, either method works. Associate a Single Access Policy Group to One or More Volumes NOTE: The access policy group must already exist before performing this procedure. 1. Click Volumes. 2. In the Activities panel, click Manage access policies. The Access Policies panel opens. 3. In the Access policy groups subpanel, select the access policy group that you want to associate with a volume. 4. In the Targets panel, click Add. A list of available volumes (not already assigned to the group) is displayed in the Pick Volumes dialog box. 5. From the list of volumes, select the checkbox next to each volume that you want to associate with the group policy. 6. In the Applies to section, specify whether the access policy should apply to volumes and snapshots, volumes only, or snapshots only. 7. Click OK. The volumes that you selected now appear in the Volumes Using Policy subpanel, indicating that they are now associated to the selected access policy group. Associate One or More Access Policy Groups to a Single Volume 1. Click Volumes. 2. Expand Volumes and then select the volume name to which you want to provide group access. 3. Click the Access tab. 4. In the Access Control List panel, click Add to add the access policy group.
