Conditions (Advanced view)

Define the resource and/or user conditions that the rule should apply to.

Syntax

[resource.resourcetype = "resourcetypevalue"] [OPERATOR] [(((<resource.property = propertyvalue) [OPERATOR (resource.property = propertyvalue)))]

 

If you select a resource and a resource condition from the drop-down list in the Basic view, the Conditions field in the Advanced view is automatically filled in with corresponding code for the selected resource type.

Conditions are defined using property-value pairs. You are not required to specify resource or user conditions. In fact, you can leave the Conditions field empty.

The order that you define conditions does not matter. This means that you can define the resources first and then the user and/or resource conditions or the other way round. However, it is recommended that you are consistent in the order in which you define resources and conditions as this simplifies troubleshooting.

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.

To enable synchronization between the Basic and Advanced sections (so called backtracking), extra parentheses are added to conditions created using the Basic section. Similarly, a user definition with an empty condition is automatically included in the Conditions text field if you add a resource using the Basic section. However, if you create your rule using the Advanced section only, and do not need backtracking, you do not need to follow these conventions.

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
resourceImplies that the conditions will be applied to a resource.
resourcetype

Implies that the conditions will be applied to a resource of the type defined by the resourcetypevalue.

You can also use predefined functions for conditions to return property values.

resourcetypevalueYou must provide at least one resource type value.
property

The property name for the resource condition. See Properties for available names.

propertyvalueThe value of the selected property name.
userImplies that the conditions will be applied to a user.

Properties

The following property groups are available.

General

PropertyDescriptionExample
resource.@<customproperty>Custom property associated with the resource. In the examples, @Department is the custom property name.resource.@Department = Finance.

resource.@Department = user.userDirectory

resource.nameName of the resource.resource.name like "*US*". A string containing "US" will match the condition.
