Manage and organize with Tags
Use tags to manage and organize your Airwall secure network. You can tag most things in the Conductor.
- Airwall Gateways and Airwall Gateway Groups
- Overlay Networks
- Devices and Device Groups
- People
You can use tags to:
- Simplify user onboarding with Airwall Invitations or Activation codes. See Connect People’s Devices with Airwall Invitations.
- Search and filter throughout Conductor.
- Automatically add devices to Smart Device Groups by creating a rule matching a tag. See Use device groups and smart device groups.
- Set a trigger for an Event Monitor. See Monitor Activity with Events and Alerts.
- Set network policies, including temporary network policies like expiring access. For an example, see Sending expiring guest access invitations walkthrough.
- Revoke policy directly from devices or Airwall Gateways without having to navigate to a network by deleting the tag that gives them access.
- Mark which assets are managed by which people.
You can tag items permanently, until you untag them, or set an expiration date, which untags an item after a period of time.
Note: When using
tags that are added and removed dynamically (for example, with Smart Device Groups
or Access Windows), make sure the tags you create are not being used elsewhere in
the Conductor,
as manually-added tags are also removed if they are the same as these conditional
tags.
