#Create a Policy Enforcer Profile

You can create a Policy Enforcer profile using the Profile Manager, and then apply the profile to a selected scope.

The Policy Enforcer profile integrates the configured source collection policies and the added rules that control the actions and changes in SharePoint Online. Once the added rules are activated and applied on the selected nodes, the corresponding actions and changes in SharePoint Online will be monitored by Administrator to identify out-of-policy objects. Administrator will report the violations with details and automatically adjust settings, permissions, and configurations or enable users to fix the issues manually if required.

To create the Policy Enforcer profile using Profile Manager, complete the following steps:

1. On the Policy Enforcer tab, click Profile Manager on the ribbon to configure the Policy Enforcer profile.

2. Click Create Profile in the Profile Management group on the ribbon to enter the Create Profile page.

3. Complete the following configurations on the Create Profile page.

     2. Select the checkboxes of the rules that you want to apply on the selected scope.

     3. Click OK to add the selected rules and return to the Profile Manager interface. All of the added rules are displayed in the Rules table.

     4. To configure a specific rule, click the corresponding rule name to configure the rule in the Rules table, or select the checkbox of the rule and then click Configure Rule on the ribbon.
