Defining application behavior rules

You can create application behavior rules as follows:

1. In the Taskpad view, select Add behavior rule... or click New in the context menu of the Application behavior rules subnode, creating a new behavior rule. In this context menu you can also create folders to group related application behavior rules.
2. In either case, the properties dialog box as shown below will appear, allowing you to enter your details.

3. Enter a description on the General tab and add a comment if necessary.

   In the figure below you can see one of the supplied sample permissions.

4. The Enable rule option is set by default.

5. The Priority option provides you with several choices.

   

   Generally valid application behavior rules get a lower priority, special ones a higher one. The priorities vary according to the use cases. High-priority rules are processed before low-priority rules. The system checks the rules in the specified order, and if a rule matches, it is applied.

   You can reduce or increase the priority in the DriveLock MMC.

   Example: Combine rules, e.g. create a rule that allows the Browser to start Windows Media Player with high priority and another rule that forbids the Browser to start any other programs with a lower priority.

6. Continue your input on the Filters, Action, Messages and general settings for rules and permissions (Computers, Networks, Times) tabs.

Please find practical examples in the use cases.
