Mend copy policy tool

The script allows copying policies automatically, from the template project/product to the newly created projects/products, and update existing projects with the template policy. It should run periodically, in order to make sure that all the policies under the required projects/products are up to date.

How to use the script

1. Create an empty project/product or few with the required template policy.
2. Tag an empty project/product with the following project tag: key=Policy.Template.Source, value=<yourUniqueTemplateName>.
3. For a new project/product creation that requires the template policy, add the following project/product tag: key=Policy.Template.Destination, value=<yourUniqueTemplateName>. It can be added via the UI or as part of the Unified Agent run.
4. The template policy will be updated for the required projects/products. Note: Make sure that the tag Policy.Template.Source value is unique and is presented only in one project/product.

What does the script do?

For each project/product in the system, the script extracts the Tag key called: Policy.Template.Source, and the tag key called Policy.Template.Destination. In the event, the tag value of the project/product with Policy.Template.Source tag key equals the tag value of the project/product with Policy.Template.Destination tag key, the script will do the following:

• Delete the existing policies from the project/product with Policy.Template.Destination tag key.
• Copy the project/product policies of the project/product with Policy.Template.Source tag key to the project/product with Policy.Template.Destination tag key.
