Policies

The Policies section of the Web Admin Console is where you can define specific rules and restrictions for how a given certificate or group of certificates are used. While Roles control access and permissions for the Admin Web Console, Policies control the actual usage of the certificate.

In addition to configuring policies, the Policies section is also where Applications and specific regular expressions can be set which define what applications are allowed to be used.

Follow the steps in Creating a Policy to fill in the following fields:

• What (which certificates)

• Who (which users)

• Where (what applications)

• When (what times)

With no policy assigned to a certificate with properties defined for its use, no user will be able to use that certificate. This means that at least one policy needs to be defined for users to be able to use a certificate. The only exception to this is if the user is the “Owner” of the certificate.
