    Any combination of these values can be associated to the user.



    Application Policies

    Policies allows to manage access to individual gateway / endpoint applications in order to allow or block one user or any. To do this, user needs to access Corvina Cloud with "manage device" permission.

    Go in Device tab and edit the Gateway by clicking on the pencil icon. Navigate to Permissions tab and set the user to allow to use the endpoint application as "regular user" or "manager" of Gateway. Access policies can be specified in the text box called Policies, as shown in picture below.





























    The policies rules are text strings with following syntax:

    ALLOW/DENY ‘Application/Organization’ ON EndpointName TO UserName

    Wildcard * is accepted in any position and will indicate any (application, endpoint, user).

    Order of rules will determinate priority: the first rule matched will be the one to be applied.

    If no rule is matched, default rule will be ALLOW *, which means: “everything will be accepted”.

    In case it is needed to have full control on the application access for each endpoint the best practice is setting the last rule as DENY: this will block all the accesses between application, endpoint, user not directly specified from policies.

    Denying all application from an endpoint will also block users involved in the rule, into connecting by VPN.



    Use cases examples


    DENY

            Everything is blocked: no user see nothing in no endpoint.

    DENY 'AppName/Organization' ON Endpoint TO User

            Everything visible except the application ‘AppName/Organization’ on Endpoint, for User.

    ALLOW 'AppName/Organization' ON Endpoint TO User
    DENY

            Everything is blocked except application ‘AppName/Organization’ on Endpoint, for User.

    DENY * ON Endpoint TO User

            Everything is blocked on Endpoint. User is not allowed to create VPN to Endpoint.

    DENY * ON * TO User

            Everything blocked for User on every endpoint. User is not allowed to create VPN to any endpoint.

    ALLOW 'AppName/Organization' ON Endpoint TO User1
    ALLOW 'AppName/Organization' ON Endpoint TO User2
    DENY

            Everything blocked on any endpoint except for 'AppName/Organization' application on Endpoint. Both User1 and User2 are allowed.
