does a policy that adds a dock item, add the item for all users? or just the current user?

I was using policies to set users dock items, However, This was 'bitty' and sometimes 'broke'
I now use Configuration profile to set.
So, In the 'dock' payload, you can only see 'some' apps.
There's a way to add to this list and its not complicated, just edit the following XML file:
"configurationProfileDockItemApps" which is in the XML folder in Tomcat.
Set each new application as this one for Self Service
<dict> <key>mcx_typehint</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>tile-data</key> <dict> <key>file-data</key> <dict> <key>_CFURLString</key> <string>/Applications/Self Service.app</string> <key>_CFURLStringType</key> <integer>0</integer> </dict> <key>file-label</key> <string>SelfService</string> </dict> <key>tile-type</key> <string>file-tile</string>
</dict>

Save the XML File, Stop Tomcat, Replace the exisiting XML file with this one, re start Tomcat... BOOM!

Add Dock items then set to 'user level'

It just works!

G'LUCK!
