To import a policy follow these steps:

  1. Right-click any section in the Policies tree of the Security Summary view and select Import Policy
  2. The Import Policy window opens with the following options:
    • Import from policy template - Select this option if you want to import from a policy template. Click the template to import, then click OK. For more information, see how policy templates can help you achieve your SQL Server security goals.
    • Import previously exported policy - Select this option if you want to import a previously exported template. Click Browse to locate your policy template, click Open, and then OK
  3. Once you select the source for importing your policy (from policy template or previously exported policy) follow these steps:
    • In the Importing Policy Security Checks window, you can review in the Import column which security checks you want to import. Click OK.
    • The Importing Policy window opens where you can edit the properties of the policy (name, description), the security checks you want this policy to perform, specific settings for a security check, the SQL Server instances added to the policy, and the Internal Review Notes. For more information about the settings of a policy, go to Add new policy. Take into account that you need to change the name of the selected policy to import a new one. Click OK.
