The Custom Policies Tab (Advanced Feature)

Define Custom Policies for Apps

You can add your own policies for apps that fit specific criteria.

The MES Console currently has a maximum limit of 20 custom policies.

  1. Click the Custom Policies tab at the top of the screen.
  2. Click Add Policy.
  3. Enter a name for the policy.
  4. Use the Search and Filter field to add app filters.

    For example, to add a policy for submitted apps that access either the user's Address Book or their Location, select Source > Submissions then Data Access > Address Book then Data Access > Location:

  5. Click Add policy.

    Creating the policy causes the App Explorer module to flag all apps that violate the policy. Once you have reviewed a questionable app in App Explorer, you can choose to denylist it by clicking the Denylist button. For more information, see Denylisting and Allowing Apps.

  6. To configure a risk level, return to the Protections module Policies tab and set the policy for the

    Denylisted App classification.

    This classification only applies to apps that you explicitly denylist. It does not automatically apply to apps in violation of a custom policy.

    You can delete an existing custom policy by highlighting the row and clicking the trashcan icon:
