To inherit Grid rule settings for the selected profile, from the **Data** **Management** tab, select the **Security** tab -> **Profiles** tab, select the threat protection profile, click the Action icon > Macro (inline-media-image)

 and then select **Inherit** **Grid** **Rule** **Settings**. Click **Yes** in the confirmation dialog box to inherit the settings.
