Merge group policies
Depending on your settings, policies that belong to an atomic policy group need to be set from the same source to take effect. Otherwise, only the policies from the source with the highest priority apply. You can use PolicyListMultipleSourceMergeList or PolicyDictionaryMultipleSourceMergeList to merge policies that belong to a group. That way, policies that belong to a group apply, regardless of their source.
For details about policy groups, see Atomic Policy Groups.
