Rule Management

Rules define a specific verification requirement and can be added to Trust Providers or Policies.

The list of all available Rules can be accessed by clicking [Rules] under the [Tenants] tab of the sidebar.

Viewing All Rules

The initial Rules page displays a list of all of the Rules that have been created for your instance of CitizenOne.

From this page, you are able to filter the displayed list of Rules by their name, click on a Rule in the list for a more detailed view, or create a new Rule.

If you have only been granted “READ” access to Rules, you will not be able to create new Rules, nor will you be able to modify existing Rules.
