Configuring an AppConnect container policy

This task is only required if you did not select Authorize for Apps without an AppConnect container policy, in the AppConnect Global Policy.

The AppConnect container policy authorizes an AppConnect app and specifies the data loss prevention settings. The container policy overrides the corresponding settings in the AppConnect Global Policy.

Ensure that only one FilePass AppConnect container policy is applied to a device.

Procedure 

  1. In the Admin Portal, go to Policy & Configs > Configurations.
  2. Click Add New > AppConnect > Container Policy.
  3. Enter a name for the policy. For example, enter FilePass container policy for iOS.
  4. Enter a description for the policy.

  6. Select Save.
  7. Select the FilePass container policy.
