Scope

Learn how to add detection rules to your Nightfall policy

The Scope stage allows you to select an MS Office tenant in which the policy can be created.

To configure Policy Scope:

  1. Click + Add Instances and select an instance.

  2. Select one of the following options under the Include in Monitoring section. The scope of this policy is limited to only those categories of tickets which are selected in this section.

  • New: This option adds all the newly created tickets to be monitored.

  • Pending: This option adds all the pending tickets to be monitored.

  • Open: This option adds all the open tickets to be monitored.

  • Solved: This option adds all the solved tickets to be monitored.

  1. To select all the tickets, click Select All.

The Exclude from Monitoring section allows you to exclude Groups and Agents from the policy scope. It is optional and you can proceed without configuring this section, if you wish to maintain the scope of the policy to all the Groups and Agents, selected in Step 2.

  1. Select the Groups and Agents to be excluded.

  • Groups Exclusion: This option displays a drop-down menu of all the Groups selected in Step 2. You can select any Group to exclude it from the scope of the policy.

  • Agents (User) Exclusion: This option displays a drop-down menu of all the Agents (basically users) selected in Step 2. You can select any Agent to exclude them from the scope of the policy.

Click Next.

Example Scenario

Consider that you wish to scan all the tickets irrespective of their status. However, there is a specific group called Support. You do not wish to scan tickets from this group (assuming it's an internal support group). You can accomplish this by using the Groups Exclusion field as shown in the following image.

Similarly, you can also exclude a specific user by using the. Agents Exclusion field.
