[en] Rules
[en] In the Rules page (Configuration > Rules), you can see and manage the set of authentication rules applied to an app. Rules are specifications that define parameters related to the users, tokens, sessions and OTCs and define how app users operate on the app.
[en] Each domain is associated to a product, which is in turn associated to an app. Therefore, rules associated to a specific domain are applied to a specific app. In addition, each rule falls under a specific version, allowing you to make changes to the rules that do not impact on the app unless that version is activated. As a result, rules are configured under a specific domain and a specific version.
[en] Changes to rules in Domain 0 (domain installed by default in AS) affect all domains associated to it. This means that, if you make changes to a rule associated to the Domain 0, those changes will also impact on the rule values of the domain that inherited the Domain 0's rules.
[en] To make changes in only one domain, edit the desired domain. When a change is made in a certain domain, it stops inheriting its rules values from Domain 0, so that any change made afterwards to those rules in Domain 0 will no longer impact on the edited domain.
[en] To see the set of rules available, first select a domain and a version from the respective drop-down menus. Then, click Search.
Nota
[en] You can see the rules in both the active and inactive versions. The active version contains the word ACTIVE in the versions drop-down for you to easily identify it.
[en] You will see the rule categories available under that domain and version. First, click the rule category you want to edit. The categories are: Users, Sessions, Tokens and OTCs. Then, select the subcategory that contains the rule or rules you want to see or edit. Each subcategory comprises a different set of rules.
[en] The number (orange sign) to the right of a rule category or subcategory represents the number of rules that have changes and are pending activation. This means that those changes to the rules won't be applied to the app until the version that contains such changes is activated.
[en] Once you select the rule subcategory, you will see the set of rules included in it. You can also compare the rule under the current active version and the version selected in the first step. Refer to the table below to learn more about the rules' details available.

Go to the Add New Values section, and complete the new settings of the rule selected. Depending on the type of rule, you will have to either select and option from a drop-down menu or enter a new rule value, and enter relevant comments for your team regarding the changes made. Then, click Confirm.
[en] A panel opens, informing you on which domain and version the rule changes will have effect and that you must activate the version to apply those changes to the app. Remember that changes made to a rule in a specific domain only affect the domain and version selected but changes made to rules in Domain 0 affect all other domains associated to it. Click Confirm again to proceed and finish the editing process.
