Resource filter (Advanced view)

A mandatory definition of the types of resources that the security rule applies to.

Syntax

resourcetype1[*][_*][, resourcetype2[*][_*], ...]

If you select a resource from the Create rule from template list in the Identification section, the Resource filter field in the Advanced section is automatically filled in with the selected resource. The optional underscore and asterisk ('_*') are added by default. Selections made in the rule wizard drop-down lists in the Basic section are automatically added to the Conditions box in the Advanced section.

Arguments

Argument	Description
resourcetype1	Required. You must enter at least one resource type name.
*	Optional wildcard. If included the rule will apply to all resource types beginning with the specified text. For example, App* will apply the rule to all resource types beginning with "App", that is to say, all resources of type App and App.Object. If omitted the security rule will apply to resource types with the exact name specified in the Resource field. You must supply the GUID or template for GUIDs for the rule to work. Cannot be used in conjunction with '_*' option.
_*	Optional wildcard. If included the rule will apply to all resources of the type specified. For example, App_* will apply the rule to all apps. Similarly, App.Object_* will apply the rule to all app objects. If omitted the security rule will apply to resource types with the exact name specified in the Resource field. You must supply the GUID or template for GUIDs for the rule to work. Cannot be used in conjunction with the '*' option.
