# Glossary

FenixPyre has its own vocabulary. Most FenixPyre terms are common English words or computing terms that have a specific meaning within the FenixPyre system.

This glossary lists the most prominent terms and a few less familiar ones with unusual or unexpected definitions.

### **FenixPyre Windows Agent**

FenixPyre Windows Agent is the software installed in client machines for encrypting and opening files securely.

### **FenixPyre Admin Dashboard**

The Admin Dashboard is the place where admins can manage their users, permissions, policies, and applications. Access it at [admin.anchormydata.com](https://admin.anchormydata.com) or admin.fenixpyre.com

### **Protected Folders**

Protected Folders are designated locations within an organization where sensitive content can be accessed. Files outside these folders can't be opened. Examples include common user folders on endpoints, network drives, and cloud-based document-sharing platforms. 

### **Access Rules**

To access FenixPyre encrypted data, specific conditions must be met. Our system automatically enforces access rules on all files to save time. Currently, we support access rules based on geographic locations, such as country restrictions to the US, and IP address
