Multiple Rules for a Zone

By default, a Zone applies if a user logs on from a computer that matches one of the specified rules.

By grouping Zone rules using the ampersand button Apersand & , you can divide rules into groups. The ampersand functions as a group separator, and the Zone applies when one of the groups of rules is met.

When adding Zones in Access Control / Locations and devices, it is possible to require all Zones to be valid by using the AND option. For example, if you have a Zone for a particular OS and another Zone for a particular hardware requirement, you can combine these two by using AND in one Zone Rule. This way you do not have to create a third Zone to combine the two Rules.
