Rule Action
By default, access to internet destinations is allowed unless an access rule blocks or modifies access using the Warn or Isolate options.
The action you choose determines which other options are available in the rule.
Specify the rule action before you specify other settings including source and destination, or those configurations will be reset when you change the action.
- Allow - When the action is Allow, traffic can still be blocked if it does not pass the security controls specified in the rule.
- Block - If you want to display a notification page to end users who attempt to access a blocked destination. For more information, see Manage Notification Pages.
-
Warn - When the action is Warn:
- End users must click a link in a warning notification to access the destination.
- The destination can include applications and application categories as well as content categories and content category lists.
- You can configure a custom warning notification that Secure Access will present to users who attempt to access a warned destination. You can also preview the notification page. See Manage Notification Pages.
- Decryption must be enabled in order to present the notification.
- For required certificates for displaying notifications, see Certificates for Internet Decryption.
-
Isolate - If your license includes the Remote Browser Isolation feature, Secure Access creates a virtual browser that hosts applicable destination access requests. This action is available only for certain destinations. For information about the Isolate action, see Understand Isolated Destinations.
