Introduction
This document describes how to use inclusion and exclusion options in DLP policies to tailor data loss prevention rules to specific identities.
Overview
Inclusion and exclusion options in DLP policies let you precisely define which identities are covered by your data loss prevention rules. You can include or exclude specific users or groups, providing more granular control over policy enforcement.
Utilize DLP Policy Inclusion and Exclusion Options
Real-Time DLP Rules
- In the Umbrella or Secure Access dashboard, create or edit a Real-Time DLP rule.
- Go to theDestinationsection.
- You can now both include and exclude identities (users or groups) from the same list.
- This allows you to apply DLP actions to only the specified identities or to exempt certain identities as needed.

SaaS API DLP Rules
- In the SaaS API DLP rule configuration, go to theInclude and Excludesection.
- Here, you can specify which Active Directory (AD) users and AD groups to include or exclude at the same time.
- This enables you to enforce DLP policies on select identities or prevent policies from applying to certain users or groups.
