Cloaking a GPO

Cloaking allows you to hide Group Policy Objects (GPOs) from other users. The Cloaking role is not a default role installed with the product, and must be created with the Cloak/Uncloak and View Cloaked rights. By default, Domain Administrators can see all cloaked GPOs.

When a GPO is cloaked using GPOADmin, it is also cloaked in the live environment. Only users with the Cloak/Uncloak or View Cloaked right can see the GPO in the live environment. A cloaked GPO will only be applied to users who have the Cloak/Uncloak or View Cloaked right during group policy processing. All other users will no longer have the GPO applied.

Cloaked GPOs are indicated by a lighter GPO icon.

* 
NOTE: Only GPOs can be cloaked. (You cannot cloak WMI Filters or Scopes of Management).
 
To cloak a GPO using the GPOADmin console
1
Select the GPO you want to cloak from the list of GPOs within the Version Control Root node.
2
Right-click and select Cloak.
Cloaked GPOs are displayed in the Cloaked search folder. Enter a comment and click OK.
* 
NOTE: Users can also have the View Cloaked right only. This means that they can see cloaked GPOs but do not have permission to "uncloak" them. Cloaked GPOs can be viewed in the Search Folders in the GPOADmin console.

Locking a GPO

Locking allows you to lock a policy so other users cannot edit it. The Locking role has to be created and consists of the Lock/Unlock right. For example, you may choose to lock the Default Domain Policy and/or Default Domain Controller Policy as any modification to these settings would affect every GPO in the organization.

When a GPO is locked using GPOADmin, it is also locked in the live environment. All users can see the GPO, but no one can edit it.

By default, Domain Administrators can see all locked GPOs and unlock any locked GPO. Locked GPOs are indicated by a lock icon.

* 
NOTE: Only GPOs can be locked. (You cannot lock WMI Filters or Scopes of Management).
To lock a GPO using the GPOADmin console
1
Select the GPO you want to lock from the list of GPOs within the Version Control Root node.

Locked GPOs are displayed in the Locked search folder.
* 
NOTE: When a user with the right to lock GPOs connects to the GPOADmin console, they will see all locked GPOs. A Locked GPO must be unlocked before any actions can be performed (even if you are a system administrator.) Locked GPOs can be viewed in the Search Folders in the GPOADmin console.
