How do I assign Access Policies to a cipherscale Device?

You assign an Access Policy to a Device by including that Device as a Source value for the Policy. If a User belongs to a Group included in the Source field of the Policy, then that access policy also automatically applies to the User. If an access policy applies to a User, then it automatically also applies to all of that User's devices.

Note that the priority of the Access Rule will determine the outcome. The rule that is matched first is the one that is enforced. For example, If Bob has two devices, Android and macOS, is a user in Group ‘Contractor,' and the access policies are ordered as below:

No. 1, Source= Contractor, Action = Allow, Access to destination resource = timecard

No. 2, Source= Android, Action = Deny, Access to destination resource = timecard

Bob will access the timecard application from both Android and macOS devices. For Bob to get access to the timecard application from macOS but not from Android, the order of the access policies needs to be changed, with the Deny access policy being made as policy number 1.

Filter the Access Policies using the criteria that the specific Device, User, and Group is in the Source of the Access Policy and the Destination criteria matches the destination resource for which you want to set the policy. See, How do I view, search, and filter access policies?

Edit the policy with the lowest priority number by selecting Edit from the more options menu, or select Create new above to create a different Access Policy specifically for the Device.
