Policies, Actions and Filters

Policies are sets of criteria or operations that are applied to resources; policies typically reside in the Policies Tab of the Security Manager Console. (For more information about policies, go to Policies.) 

Application Control policies determine if application actions can be run by particular end users before an application starts. Each policy contains filters, which identify applications, and actions, which specify what will be done to identified applications. The following flow chart gives a simple explanation of how a policy works when an end user attempts to start an application.

The documentation contained in this section provides details about the policies, actions and filters available in the Application Control Solution.
