Attaching a Governance Rule to a Tenancy

Attach an existing governance rule to one or more tenancies.

For more information about governance rules, see Adding Governance to Tenancies.

  1. Open the navigation menu and select Governance & Administration. Under Organization Management, select Governance Rules.
  2. On the Governance Rules list page, select the governance rule that you want to attach to a tenancy.

    The Tenancies section of the details page lists the following information for every tenancy in the organization:

    • Tenancy: The tenancy name.
    • Rule status: The rule status, whether Not attached or Attached.
    • Organization governance: Indicates whether the tenancy has joined or not joined organization governance. Only tenancies that have joined organization governance can be attached to rules.
  3. Select one or more tenancies and the select Attach tenancies.

    A confirmation is displayed to confirm that you want to attach the rule to the tenancy.

  4. Select Attach rule.

    The governance rule detail page reloads and a new work request is started. After the work request completes, the rule is attached to the tenancy, and the Rule Status changes to Attached.

The governance rule now enforces its restrictions on the child tenancies. You can also view the associated governance rules by accessing the Tenancies page in Organization Management. On the Tenancies page, select the tenancy name to open the tenancy details page.

Under Governance rules, you can view the list of governance rules attached to the tenancy (to include their name and rule type). Select the governance rule name to go to the associated governance rule details page.

Meanwhile, the child tenancy that has attached governance rules can also view the rules on the Governance rules page, but can't interact with the rule, and can only view basic information about it, because the parent tenancy controls the rule configuration.
