In-App Control Overview

What is In-App Control?​

In-App Control is a CASB feature that lets administrators manage and restrict what users can do inside a cloud application—not just whether they can access it. Instead of simply blocking or allowing the whole app, it provides granular control over specific actions, features, and behaviors within supported SaaS services.

With In-App Control, you can define rules that block, allow, or log activities such as file downloads, sharing, uploads, deletions, or administrative tasks depending on the application. These controls can be applied to specific users or groups and can operate on schedules just like regular SaaS Access policies
