Filter criteria
Filter criteria (also called policy inputs) are used as inputs for policy conditions to verify and meet the requirements of an authentication request.
Use filter criteria to supply information authentication policies such as a user's IP address, roles, or groups. Add these criteria in the Policy conditions section of your policies.
There are seven types of filter criteria used in adaptive authentication. Your authentication policies can use one or more of these criteria to evaluate authentication requests.
Note: Location filter and Identity Provider filter are available with Zero Trust Access feature. For more information, see Zero Trust Access (ZTA).
