    =

    This operator is not case sensitive and returns True if the compared expressions are exactly equal.

    Example:  

    user.name = ”a*”

    The user named exactly a* is targeted by the rule.

    like

    This operator is not case sensitive and returns True if the compared expressions are equal.

    Example:  

    user.name like ”a*”

    All users with names beginning with an a are targeted by the rule..

    !=

    This operator is not case sensitive and returns True if the values in the compared expressions are not equal.

    Example:  

    user.name != resource.name

    All resources that do not have the same name as the user are targeted by the rule.

    When using multiple conditions, you can group two conditions by clicking Group. After the conditions have been grouped, you have the option Ungroup. Additional subgrouping options are Split and Join. The default operator between conditions is OR. You can change this in the operator drop-down list. Multiple conditions are grouped so that AND is superior to OR.
