Adding Policy Rules
The Policy Screen
Axis evaluates Policy Rules to specific Destinations (Applications or Application Tags) on a first-match principle. For instance, when a user attempts to access a specific application, Axis begins evaluating all of the configured policies starting with the first rule in a set of policy rules. As soon as it finds a policy that matches the criteria that were specified in a rule, it enforces that policy rule and disregards all other rules that follow, including any lower-priority or conflicting rules. If no rule was matched, the default rule is chosen which is always set to "Block".
- Click the toggle to enable or disable a rule.
- Change priorities by clicking the icon and moving the rule to another location in the list.
- Edit a policy or delete it by hovering over the area next to the rule and selecting edit or delete.
Adding a New Rule
- In the Management Console, go to Policy -> Rules -> Add Rule.
Add name and description. - Click the box next to Make this rule temporary if you wish to create a temporary rule. Select a date and time range.
- Add Conditions.
