# Client Settings Policy

Client Settings can be used to create configuration changes for a Device Group or globally for all client devices.

An example of a common client setting is enabling driver patching:

* **Patching Client System > Enable Driver Updates** - Enable driver patching for BIOS and firmware. If set to **true** this will enable a client to perform driver updates.

## Configure a Client Settings Policy

1. Connect and log into to the Admin Portal.
2. Click **the gear icon > Settings > Client Settings Policies**.
3. To create a new policy, click **+ New**.

   In the **General Settings**, complete the following:

   * **Name** - Enter a unique name. For this example, *Enable driver patching*.
   * **Description** - Enter a description. For this example, *Enable driver updates on clients to allow patching*.
   * **Priority** - To ensure these settings apply to the target groups, set this value greater than 1.
   * **Target Groups** - Click **Browse** and select one or more Groups. In this example, we chose *All Clients*.
