Using Identity Driven Manager
Defining Access Policy Groups

Parameters for Access Rules are described in the following table.

6. Repeat the above process for each rule you want to apply to the APG.

7. The Access rules are evaluated in the order (priority) they are listed in the Access

Rules table. Use Move Up or Move Down to arrange the rules in the order you
want them to be evaluated. IDM checks each rule in the list until a match on all
input parameters is found, then applies the corresponding access profile to the
user.

For example, if you want to allow a user to login in from any system during the
work week (Mon. - Fri.), but you want to deny access to users on the weekend,
you would:

Create a Time for the weekend,

Create an Access Profile to be applied during weekdays, "Default"

Define two rules for the APG, similar to the following:

Location Time System

Access Profile

ANY

weekend

ANY REJECT

ANY

weekday

ANY

Default

When the user is authenticated, IDM checks the Access Policies in the order listed.
If it is Saturday or Sunday, the user’s access is denied. On any other day, the user
is allowed on the network. If the order were reversed, IDM would never read the
second rule because the first rule would provide a match every day of the week.

Table 3-8.
