Control Tags

A control tag is a need-to-know control an administrator defines, then assigns in two places: to users and to Resources. A user can open a tagged Resource when they have a role on it and hold every tag the Resource carries. Create the tag on this page, assign it to users from Users, and assign it to a Resource from that Resource (Administrator or Owner).

Control tags apply to the whole installation, not to one tenant. Administrators in every tenant see the same tags, and any of them can rename or archive a tag, including one created in another tenant.

Secure Connections use the same tags as a transfer control:

• On a sending connection, tag rules allow or block each Resource based on the tags it carries.
• On a receiving connection, transformation rules add, remove, or replace tags on what arrives. A rule that puts a local tag on a received Resource changes who can see it. Assign that tag to the users who should see the Resource, including permitted recipients of the connection.

View Control Tags

The page has Active and Archived tabs only.

1. The default view shows the Active tab.
2. The table lists each tag with:
   • Name (with colored dot)
   • Description
   • Created date
   • Created By user
   • ⋯ actions menu
3. Switch to the Archived tab to see archived tags.

The table is paginated, 10 rows per page by default. The footer shows Showing N tags when everything fits on one page, or Showing X-Y of N when it does not, plus Items per page: (10, 20, 30, or 50).

Tags originating from an upstream remote show a tooltip instead of an actions menu and cannot be edited locally.
