Editor Tasks

In Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM), an Editor is a person authorized by an AGPM Administrator (Full Control) to change Group Policy Objects (GPOs) and create GPO templates. Additionally, an Editor can request that a GPO be created, deleted, or restored. An Approver must approve the request for it to be implemented. An Editor can export a GPO to a file so that it can be copied to a domain in another forest, and import a GPO that was copied from another domain.

Important   Make sure that you are connecting to the central archive for GPOs. For more information, see Configure an AGPM Server Connection.
