To block or allow specific components, you need the component name and version, and knowledge of which Groove platforms support the component, as shown in the table of Groove component packages in Groove Component Versions (from 2.0a to 3.1).
Example of how you could set policies that allow users to upgrade to Groove version 3.0 but not to install any subsequent new components:
-
Go to the management server administrative Web site and in the navigation pane, click a domain device template that you want to edit. The Account Policies tab appears.
-
Click the Client Policies tab.
-
Click the Advanced Install Policies button. The Advanced Install Policies page appears.
-
From the Install Components From field, select Anywhere.
-
Click the Add Install Policy button. The Add Install Policy page appears.
-
Enter the requested information in the custom installation policy fields at the top form as shown in the following table:

By allowing upgrade of the Groove Core component to version 3.0 and prohibiting all other component installations, this policy lets users on managed devices in the domain install additional tool components only if they are compatible with Groove version 3.0.
