User policies are essential guidelines for managing permissions and access controls within an organization, making it easier to manage specific users or groups. They are crucial for defining access rules, permissions, and specifying applications that can access encrypted files through FenixPyre. A user policy generally includes two main components:
Upon onboarding to FenixPyre, a default policy is automatically generated. This policy is applied to all users within your organization. It includes default values for all rules and settings. If you wish to streamline permission settings for your entire organization, you can modify the default policy, which will subsequently apply to all users.
Organizations can create numerous custom policies to tailor permissions by team. For instance, an "HR Policy" can restrict file-sharing capabilities for the HR team, while an "IT Policy" might offer extensive permissions aligned with their responsibilities. Custom policies are specifically designed to override default settings to meet organizational needs more effectively.
This structured approach aids in managing permissions systematically, ensuring each group only has access to the resources necessary for their functions.
When a user is subject to multiple policies, a ranking system is employed to determine which rules take precedence. Policies are prioritized based on their rank; in the event of conflicting rules, the setting from the highest-ranking policy is used.
Protected Folders
For protected folders, all folders specified across policies are combined and incorporated into the final user policy. This ensures comprehensive protection without losing individual policy settings.
