+# Endpoint security policies in multitenant management
+
+[!INCLUDE [Prerelease](../includes/prerelease.md)]
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The Endpoint security policies page is available only for [users with the security administrator role in Microsoft Defender XDR](/defender-endpoint/assign-portal-access). Any other user role, such as Security Reader, cannot access the portal. When a user has the required permissions to view policies in the Microsoft Defender portal, the data is presented based on Intune permissions. If the user is in scope for Intune role-based access control, it applies to the list of policies presented in the Microsoft Defender portal. We recommend granting security administrators with the [Intune built-in role, "Endpoint Security Manager"](/intune/fundamentals/role-based-access-control#built-in-roles) to effectively align the level of permissions between Intune and Microsoft Defender XDR.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> The endpoints security policies page is not yet available for tenants with Microsoft Defender for Business licenses.
+
+The **Endpoint security policies** page in multitenant management gives you access to manage security settings on your tenants' devices. Navigate to the page through **Configuration management > Endpoint security policies**.

+
+To know more about endpoint security policy types, see [Manage endpoint security policies in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint](/defender-endpoint/manage-security-policies).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Security administrators must have permissions in each tenant to access the endpoint security policies page in multitenant management.
+
+From the page, you can search for a specific policy by using the **Search** function. You can also **Filter** the policies according to tenant name, policy category, policy type, and targets. You can view, create, edit, or delete a security policy on a single tenant only through the page.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Creating one policy for multiple tenants is not yet supported.
+
+## Create a new security policy
+
+To create a new security policy, perform the following steps:
+
+1. Sign in to the Microsoft Defender portal using a security administrator role.
+2. From the main menu, select **Configuration management > Endpoint security policies**, then select **Create new Policy**.
+3. Select a tenant, platform, and a template in the dropdown menus. Then select Create policy.

+4. On the **Basics** page, enter a name and description for the new policy, then choose **Next**.
+5. On the **Configuration settings** page, expand a group of settings and configure the settings you need to manage the endpoints in the tenant. Select **Next** once you’re done with the configuration.
+6. On the **Assignments** page, select the groups where the policy will apply, then select **Next**.
+7. Review your new policy’s settings on the **Review + create** page, then select **Save** when you're done.
+
+After creating, the Microsoft Defender portal opens a new window showing the new policy's details.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> To edit the scope tags, you'll need to go to the [Microsoft Intune admin center](https://intune.microsoft.com/). Editing scope tags must be done in the single tenant portal as multitenant management is not yet supported in the Intune admin center.
+
+## Edit a security policy
+
+To edit an existing security policy, perform the following steps:
+
+1. In the **Endpoint security policies** page, select the policy you want to edit and then select **Edit**.
+2. In the side panel, select **Edit** to edit the policy.
+3. Modify the policy’s settings and configuration in the next pages.
+4. After you've made changes, select **Save** to save your edits.
+
+You can delete a security policy by selecting the policy in the Endpoint security policies page, then selecting **Delete**.

+
+## Verify endpoint security policy status
+
+To verify that you have successfully created a policy, select the policy from the list and click on the policy name to open the policy page. You can also view the policy page through **Edit > Open policy page**. The policy page opens in a new tab.
+
+The policy page displays details of an endpoint security policy, including the status, which devices the policy applies to, and the assigned groups.

+
+You can also view the policy in the Microsoft Intune admin center. To do so, select the More actions ellipsis (…) in the policy page, then select **View in Intune**.
