Configuring patch settings at partner level

At the partner level (All customers), you can configure settings for automatic acceptance of license agreements and automatic patch approval and, optionally, propagate them to all your customers. Thus, your customers will inherit the settings that you configure, and will not be able to change them.

If you decide not to propagate the settings that you configure, your customers will initially see the default settings, and will be allowed to change them.

To configure patch settings at partner level

  1. In Cyber Protect console at the partner level (All customers), go to Software management > Patches.

  2. Click Settings, and then do the following:

    1. Click Lifetime in list.

      The patch will be removed from the list after it is successfully installed on all the machines on which it was indicated as missing, or after the lifetime in the list passes.

      This setting is not propagated to your customers.

    2. Configure the automatic patch approval settings.

      Setting Description

      A switch that enables or disables automatic patch approval for your customers.
      Apply automatic patch approval to all low-level tenants

      Select this field if you want to propagate the automatic patch approval settings to your customers.

      If you turn on Automatic patch approval, the field is automatically selected and disabled, to avoid potential conflicts with your customers' settings.

      Your customers will still be allowed to change the value for each patch manually, if necessary.
      Automatic patch approval and testing
