Conditional Application Access for Country Template

This template creates a configuration that hides or denies access to applications in the session based on the country of the local device. It can be found in the GEOLOCATION category when filtered for LOCAL platform.

If the local device is not located within an authorized country, you can choose between two actions:

  • Hides applications with FSLogix App Masking based on the country.
  • Denies access to applications with Microsoft AppLocker based on the country.

deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your local environment. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your local environment.

We will perform the following steps:

  1. Step 1: Prerequisites
  2. Step 2: Contexts
  3. Step 3: Actions

Step 1: Prerequisites

If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started for Local guide and complete step 1 to 4 and then continue here with step 2 below.

Step 2: Contexts

The template has imported the following contexts:

Context Description Customizations
Country Defines the country. None
Country Provider Defines the provider that reports the country information. None
Note:
  • If a context is not needed, it can be deactivated or deleted. In addition, the corresponding task sequence within the relevant action must be deleted too.

Step 3: Actions

The template includes an FSLogix App Masking and a Microsoft AppLocker enforcement action that actively controls access to applications, depending on the technology available. By default both actions are disabled.
