R81 - Security Policy Installation

[Simon_Macpherso]

Hi Checkmates

Regarding the new policy installation features available in R81, specifically the concurrent policy installation feature, can someone please confirm the following

Can concurrent policy installations be run via the MGMT API (a single administrator account is sued for all MGMT API operations)?  

Can concurrent policy installations be run using the MGMT API and by one or more administrators via Smart Console simultaneously?

If yes, are there any limitations regarding how many policies can be uploaded concurrently by a single or multiple administrators via the MGMT API or smart console simultaneously?

Regards,

Simon

Don't believe it's limited to one account, but the concurrent limit per management domain is 5.
And yes, can be done via the API.

Thanks.

And do you know if concurrent policy installations be run using the MGMT API and by one or more administrators via Smart Console simultaneously?

Yes, you can mix concurrent policy installations freely. Multiple by the same user, different users, mix API and SmartConsole.

Also, if you do more than 5, then the rest will be queued and start as soon as a previous one is finished.

We'd be glad to hear your feedback on this feature (and others in R81).
