Account Level Policy Configuration

1. To configure the MAV policy at the account level you will first need to navigate to the MAV tab in the Huntress dashboard from the account level. 

2. Once on the MAV dashboard at the account level, select the “Configure” button located on the “Managed Antivirus Status” bar.

3. From there, you can then set and configure the MAV policy for all organizations and agents. Making the change here will set the same policy for everything under the account (unless an organization has its own policy set).

Organization Level Policy Configuration

1. To configure the MAV policy at the organization level, you will first need to navigate to the MAV tab in the Huntress dashboard from the desired organization.

2. Once on the MAV dashboard at the account level, select the “Configure” button located on the “Managed Antivirus Status” bar.

3. From there, you can then set and configure the MAV policy for that organization and all agents under that org (unless an agent has its own individual policy enforced).

Host Level Policy Configuration

1. To configure the MAV policy at the host level, you will first need to navigate to the Antivirus section from the host/agent of choice. 

2. Once there, select the “Policy Status” tab and then the “Configure” option. From there, you can set a policy that will only apply to that device.
