Using policy and object filters

Policies and firewall objects can be limited for specific profiles using filters.

Policies can be filtered on a value entered in the Comments field of the policy and firewall objects can be filtered based on the Name.

Policies and firewall objects that match will be shown and ones that do not match will be hidden.

The value you enter in the filter is matched against the beginning of the policy or object value.

For example, if you enter a filter of org1, it will match a policy with a comment value of org1 firewall policy but would not match firewall policy org1.

Filtering in FortiPortal 7.2 is different than previous versions. Filters now display matched items instead of restricting them.

To limit access to policies or firewall objects:

1. In System > Profiles, click Create.

2. Enter a name for the profile and set Profile Type to Customer.

3. In Access Permissions > Security, set Policies or Firewall Objects to Read, Read/Write, or Custom.

4. Enter a filter value in the appropriate field:

   • To filter policies, enter the filter value in Policies > Comment-based Filter(s).

   • To filter firewall objects, enter the filter value in Firewall Objects > Name-based Filter(s).

5. Click Save.
