Policy language guide

What is policy language?

Security Policy Scripting Language (also referred to as "policy language") is a specialized scripting language used within the BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) software used to define policies. Policies are a set of rules, written in this specific syntax, to manage user access and privilege levels within the BeyondTrust platform.

How is policy language useful to my organization?

Use policy language to define detailed security policies to control which users can execute specific commands, applications, or tasks with elevated privileges on a system. Using the scripting language, create security policy files to control:

the tasks a user or group of users may perform,
the systems from which a task may be submitted, and
the systems from which a task may be run,

and determine:

when a specific task may be run (day and time),
where a task may be run from,
if secondary security checks, such as passwords or checksums, are required to run a task, and
if one or more supplemental security programs are run before a task is started.
