Abstract
Examples described herein relate to manipulation of a structure of a policy hierarchy, while reformulating policies associated with the manipulated nodes, or other nodes effected by the manipulation, of the hierarchy. In some examples, a node may be created, moved, and/or deleted, and the manipulated node (and other nodes effected by the manipulation of the node) may reformulate their respective policies based on their new positions within the policy hierarchy. In some examples, nodes indirectly effected by the hierarchy manipulation may be moved within the hierarchy as a result.
