Hi folks! 

We've recently moved from DC to cloud, and we've got multiple default authentication policies. 

We only want one policy as default, and a few of the policies also needs to be deleted which isn't an option when they're marked as default.

I'm not seeing any option to de-select a policy as default. 
The only option i have is for non-default policies to be added as default. 

Is it not possible to remove a policy from being marked as default?

Thanks in advance!

@Jakob KN ,

The 2 default policies are they both linked to a different Identity Provider?

Normally on cloud you have:

  • A default policy for the local user directory
  • 1 default policy for each IDP you have linked.

As you are on Enterprise you have the ability to link multiple IDP's so could you look there and see if you have multiple IDP's linked?

A (redacted) screenshot of your default policies would also help

I managed to sort out the two policies we had for internal directory. 

Now what i have is two policies connected to google SSL. Both are default, and i'd like to delete one of them since it's not being used. 

But, as mentioned i can't change either of the policies to not be default, and therefore can't delete it. 
The policy that I'd like to delete does not have any members in it.
