Abstract
A method, system, and computer usable program product for flexibly assigning security configurations to applications are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An embodiment determines, forming a first determination, whether a first identifier identifying the application is mapped to the security configuration. The embodiment determines, forming a second determination, whether the application participates in a group by determining whether a second identifier identifying the group is mapped to the security configuration. The embodiment assigns, forming a first assignment, the security configuration to the application if either of the first and the second determinations is true. The embodiment assigns, forming a second assignment, the security configuration to the application using a determination by a first policy if the first and the second determinations are false.
