Use cases of attribute policies
Overview
Cayosoft Administrator helps establish granularity in your environment with attribute policies. This article lists examples of attribute policies to showcase the possible use cases. It is not a definitive list, but an introduction to the customization abilities of attribute policies. Every example table follows the structure Selected Virtual Admin Unit > Selected web query > Selected web action > Affected attribute > Edited attribute values > Notes.
Considerations
Where appropriate, the list of possible values must include the default value. Otherwise, a user won't be able to select the default value after switching.
The Mask field in the policy settings window supports regular expressions, allowing you to customize it to fit your needs. Refer to the following section for a corresponding use case: Add a mask for any phone attribute.
