UniFi Identity Enterprise - Manage Security Policy and Rule

You can create attribute-based security policies to secure UniFi Identity Enterprise accounts, SSO apps, passwords, network connections, and approvals. Security policies assess users' risk factors, such as IP, client device, device platform, behavior, and risk level.

  • Once a workspace is created, a default security policy with rules will be created automatically and applied to all workspace users and resources. This default policy cannot be modified. However, you can create custom security policies and prioritize them over the default policy.
  • Once a security policy is created, at least one security rule must be created to define the conditions under which the policy will be applied. A policy without a rule will not take effect.
  • Policy conditions include applied users, apps, approvals, and VPN. Rule conditions include network, client, and risk score. To be matched with a policy, a user's sign-in context and requested resources must meet the conditions of the policy and its associated rules.

Note: Only users with the Owner, Super Admin, and IT Admin roles can create security policies and their associated rules. Note that IT Admin is only available by default in workspaces created before February, 2023.
