Fleet UI: Warn users before deleting a policy that an automation relies on

[RachelElysia]

Gong snippet: TODO

Problem

When deleting a policy tied to an automation, users may not know they are deleting a policy that an automation is dependent on (trigger a calendar event, software installation, script to run, or a webhook/jira/zendesk ticket).

What have you tried?

i tried to delete a policy that installs a software if failing. It doesn't tell me I'm deleting anything important.

Potential solutions

• Update the delete policy modal to warn users

What is the expected workflow as a result of your proposal?

Warnings are good.

What happens when someone deletes the policy?

Good question, we have a delete policy modal that asks “ Are you sure you want to delete the selected policies?” But maybe we should mention that an automation (calendar event, software installation, script) depends on said policy.

@Marko Lisica | Product Designer Can we get the text in the modal updated for this release?
@Marko Lisica | Product Designer Ah may require more than a text change if we don’t know if there is an automation in place at that point
