Example Access Policy Using User Risk Score Authentication in Omnissa Access (Cloud only)

This example shows an access policy that is configured with the following access flow.

  • Users with a low risk score and a compliant iOS device can access the apps without entering additional credentials.
  • Users with a medium risk score and a compliant iOS device must use a second authentication method before accessing the app.
  • Users with high risk-scores and a compliant iOS device are denied access to the apps.

User Risk Score authentication can be applied to any policy rule, but User Risk Score cannot be the first authentication method listed in the policy rule.
