Adding an access policy mapping item

Before you start this task, configure an access profile.
Configure an access policy with a mapping action to map resources or variables of one type to another type or value. Each mapping action works differently and assigns different items.

    Access
    Profiles / Policies
    .
    The Access Profiles (Per-Session Policies) screen opens.

    Edit
    link for the access profile you want to configure.
    The visual policy editor opens the access policy in a separate screen.
  3. Click the
    (+)
    icon anywhere in the access policy to add a new item.
    Only an applicable subset of access policy items is available for selection in the visual policy editor for any access profile type.
    A popup screen opens, listing predefined actions on tabs such as General Purpose, Authentication, and so on.
  4. Select a mapping action, then click
    Add Item

    link.

    .
