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.
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
Argument | Description |
---|---|
resource | Implies 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. |
resourcetypevalue | You must provide at least one resource type value. |
property | The property name for the resource condition. See Properties for available names. |
propertyvalue | The value of the selected property name. |
user | Implies that the conditions will be applied to a user. |
Properties
The following property groups are available.
General
Property | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
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.name | Name of the resource. | resource.name like "*US*". A string containing "US" will match the condition. |
resource.id | ID of the resource. | resource.id=5dd0dc16-96fd-4bd0-9a84-62721f0db427 The resource in this case is an app. |
