Example 1: When all match

Assume you have configured an application policy with the Allow action and the When all match condition for these parameters:

  • Browser: Firefox

  • Location (Country): India

In this case, access is allowed only if the user is accessing the application from the Firefox browser and is located in India.

Example 2: When some match

Now, assume the same application policy is configured with the Allow action and the When some match condition:

  • Browser: Firefox

  • Location (Country): India

In this scenario, access is allowed if either the user is accessing the application from the Firefox browser or is located in India.
