PATCH

Edits the Policy associated with {id} or {uuid}, changing only the passed in fields.

NOTE #1: A policy's context may not be modified. When a policy is not context "" (empty), a new name will be generated. If the 'name' parameter is passed, it will be overwritten.
NOTE #2: In addition to the root object level (as usual), preferences and auth preference levels are defaulted. To maintain passwords on policy preferences, the policy preference object must contain the 'id' associated with that preference.

Request Parameters

All fields are optional

See /policy::POST for parameters.

Expand

In addition, the following may be used to completely remove a preference:

NOTE: Not sending a preference will cause it to remain unchanged. Sending a preference as null, false, blank, or empty will just simply set the respective preference to that value. The only way to remove a preference is to include it in the removePrefs.
 

{
	...
	"removePrefs" : [
		<string:name>...
	] DEFAULT []
}
Example Response
See /policy/{id}::GET
DELETE

Deletes the Policy associated with {id} or {uuid}, depending on access and permissions.
