How to identify conflicting settings within multiple User Account Policies

[support]

Purpose:

You have two or more User Account Policies applying to a single user.  In each of the policies, you have specified different values for a same setting.  You would like to identify this conflict, so you can remove or adjust it from one of your User Account Policies.

 

Example:

The first policy you have specified that the Pie Charts on a Password List are to be displayed (See Screenshot below:).  The second policy, you have chosen the exact opposite value, and the Pie Charts are hidden.  You have applied both policies to one of your users.
