Positioning an Access Control Rule

You can move an existing rule within an access control policy, or insert new rules in a desired location. When you add or move a rule to a category, the system places it last in the category.

Before you begin

Review rule order guidelines in Best Practices for Access Control Rules.

Procedure

Step 1

Do one of the following:

  • New rule—Insert a new rule by hovering over the line between the existing rules, and clicking Add Rule. The location is selected in the Insert box in the Add Rule dialog box; you can select a different rule to adjust the location. You can also select Add Rule Above or Add Rule Below from the right-click menu.

  • Existing rules when viewing the rule table—Click and drag the rule to the new poisition.
