Manage permissions using ACLs

What are ACLs?

n2x.io Access Control Lists (ACLs) provide granular control over which resources users in your account can access. An ACL is essentially a list of tags that identify the Identity-Aware Proxy resources a user is authorized to access.

You can assign one or more ACLs to individual users, allowing for fine-grained control.

The system automatically creates an all-tags ACL, granting access to all configured Identity-Aware Proxy resources. This ACL is unmodifiable and cannot be deleted, but you can assign it to any user for full access.

There's no limit to the number of custom ACLs you can create, allowing you to tailor access permissions to your specific needs.
