User Context Filters

User Context filters identify applications based on the group memberships of the users.

These filters use the following parameters:

  • Well-known users
     
  • Built-in accounts
     
  • Well-known groups
     
  • Domain users

A single user or group, or numerous combinations of users, groups, and well-knowns allow User Context filters to limit the scope of Application Control Policies. This enables you to grant CEO's or VIPs special access to the system, or certain user groups such as the Finance-Group to use TurboTax/Quicken on their computers while every other user group has no access to finance-related applications.
