Content Groups

Build a Content Group using the definitions provided to control access to privileged content. Content Groups are added to a Content Rule in a Workstyle. When matches are detected on computers receiving the policy, the rule triggers and the rule behavior applies (allow or block rule).

There are two main use cases for applying content control:

• Allow modification: Allows standard users to modify privileged content, without having to assign admin rights to either the user, or the application used to modify the content.

  Add a Content Group to a content rule where the content can be assigned admin rights. When this is done, any user who receives the Workstyle can modify matching content without requiring an administrator account.

• Block access to content or directories.

  Add a Content Group to a content rule where the ability to open the content can be controlled with a Block action. When this is done, any user who can open and read the content is blocked from opening the content.
