Add Protected Settings

You can add the Protected Settings policy to a container. This command requires the "Modify Protected Settings Assignments" . First you need to have a Protected Setting object configured with the setting you want to check against, then set up the assignment information, and apply it to a container.

Syntax

Add-ProtectedSettingsPolicies [-Container] <VersionControlContainerData> [-ProtectedSettingsPolicies] <ProtectedSettingsPolicyAssignment> [-PipelineVariable <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

Examples

$PSP = Get-ProtectedSettingsPolicies | ? {$_.Name -eq "PROT_01"}

$assignment = New-ProtectedSettingsPolicyAssignment -ProtectedSettingsPolicy $PSP -ValidationRule Value

get-item .\locations | Add-ProtectedSettingsPolicies -ProtectedSettingsPolicies $assignment

Adds the "PROT_01" Protected Settings object to the container "Locations" with a Validation Rule of "Value".
