Introduction

Application access rules make the application access process more secure. They support two-factor authentication, as well as limiting access by IP range, browser, user group, and more.

Go to Security > Policies > Application Access Rules to see an overview of the application access rules set up within your organization’s HelloID environment.

The following information is displayed for application access rules:

1. Name
   The descriptive name of the access rule. The icon indicates whether the access rule denies access (red cross) or permits access (green check mark).
2. Priority
   In ascending order, the order in which the access rule is applied when a user accesses an application. A lower number indicates a higher priority.
3. Applications
   The application(s) to which this access rule applies.
4. Time Restriction
   This field displays the times between which this access rule applies. For example, a rule may only be in effect during normal business hours.
5. IP Restriction
   The IP address, or IP ranges, to which this access rule applies.
6. Groups
   The HelloID user groups to which this access rule applies.
7. Two Factor
   The method of two-factor authentication that is used, if any.
8. Source
   The browser or platform to which this rule applies. For example, you may want an access rule to apply to users only when they are accessing an application via their iOS or Android mobile devices.
9. Actions
   Edit or delete existing access rules.

When no application access rules exist for an application, all users may access that application at any time.
