Warning: This article describes unsupported functionality that is subject to change - test any solutions derived from it.

The method described is not intended to help you manage policy, but rather to seed policy in an organization for a TEST IQ Server.

IQ Server "/rest/" endpoints are used by the UI and we may change them to support the needs of the UI. The officially supported API is at "/api/v2/" and is documented in the IQ Server Rest APIs Help.

Warning

Importing a policy is a destructive operation.
