Problem Cause

The most complicated part of determining if two policies can be merged is the object assignments. First, defining if two object assignments are the same is a challenge. We have many assignment types and each type contains different data. The data are all in different formats and the relationships among the values of each assignment can be complex. For example, an assignment that involves a domain user or group name can be hard to resolve.

We opted to use the most conservative measures to ensure the equality of two assignments. We consider two assignments are the same if we are 100% certain that the two assignments have the same values. For all other cases, we consider the two assignments different.

When the object assignments are different for two policies, the policies cannot be merged.

If any two policies of the same name cannot be merged for any reason, the UI displays a message about the problem and the problem needs fixing.
