Select the applications you want to control

If you use role-based administration:

You must have the Policy setting - application control right to configure an application control policy.
You cannot edit a policy if it is applied outside your active sub-estate.

By default, all applications are allowed. You can select the applications you want to control as follows:

Check which application control policy is used by the group(s) of computers you want to configure.
See Check which policies a group uses.
In the Policies pane, double-click Application control. Then double-click the policy you want to change.
In the Application control policy dialog box, click the Authorization tab.
Select an Application type, for example, File sharing.
A full list of the applications included in that group is displayed in the Authorized list below.
- To block an application, select it and move it to the Blocked list by clicking the “Add” button.
- To block any new applications that Sophos adds to that type in the future, move All added by Sophos in the future to the Blocked list.
- To block all applications of that type, move all applications from the Authorized list to the Blocked list by clicking the “Add all” button.
On the Scanning tab of the Application control policy dialog box, make sure that scanning for controlled applications is enabled. (See Scan for applications you want to control for details.) Click OK.
