Resource filter (Advanced view)

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

Syntax:

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

If you select a resource from the Resource drop-down list in the Basic view, the Resource field in the Advanced view is automatically filled in with the selected resource. The optional asterisk ('*') is added by default. The Conditions field is also automatically filled in with the corresponding code for the selected resource type.

If you define a rule without specifying at least one Resource or User condition, your rule will apply to all resources and/or users as indicated by (ALL) next to the condition heading.

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 '*' option.
