Changing application control rules for trust groups and groups of applications

The optimal application control rules for different trust groups are created by default. The settings of rules for application group control inherit values from the settings of trust group control rules. You can edit the preset trust group control rules and the rules for application group control.

To edit the trust group control rules or the rules for application group control:

1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Endpoint control section, select the Application Privilege Control subsection.

   In the right part of the window, the settings of the Application Privilege Control component are displayed.

3. Click the Applications button.

   This opens the Application control rules tab in the Application Privilege Control window.

4. Select the necessary trust group or application group.
5. From the context menu of a trust group or of a group of applications, select Group rules.

   The Application group control rules window opens.

   • To edit trust group control rules or application group control rules that govern the rights of the trust group or application group to access the operating system registry, user files, and application settings, select the Files and system registry tab.
   • To edit trust group control rules or application group control rules that govern the rights of the trust group or application group to access operating system processes and objects, select the Rights tab.
