Clarify behavior of child processes under elevation rules, since "Not configured" is available in the UI but not mentioned in the docs

Pull request overview

Updates Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) documentation to explicitly describe the Not configured option for child process behavior in elevation rules, aligning the docs with what the UI exposes.

Changes:

  • Adds documentation for the Not configured child process behavior option.
  • Clarifies that Not configured follows default Windows behavior and effectively matches Allow child processes to run elevated (including skipping child rule evaluation / deny rules).

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

- **Not configured** - No child process behavior is specified and the elevated parent falls back to the default Windows behavior, where any child process launched by the elevated parent automatically runs elevated. Rule evaluation for the child process is skipped, including deny rules, which makes this behavior equivalent to Allow child processes to run elevated.
