Apply policies based on AD users, groups, or OU

To apply inline policies based on security needs and various constraints such as AD/user groups/Organizational unit, Source of traffic/Trusted or untrusted, networks/Forward or reverse proxy, Application instance, Constraint profile or augmenting authentication (Multifactor authentication),  follow the steps as shown below:

  1. Navigate to Policies > Real time Protection > New Policy > Cloud App access.
  2. Under ‘Source’ section, select Users/User groups or Organizational Unit. Options selected here will apply in the policy being created. You can add up to 1,024 unique user groups or organizational units. Keep in mind that Real-time Protection and SSL decryption policies share this limit.

    Note

    The ability to add up to 4,096 unique user groups or organizational units is a GA-controlled feature. Contact your Sales Representative or Support to enable this feature.
