Creating file rules

Use the By Path to the Executable rule to elevate or decrease privileges for processes that start from an executable file.

To create a By Path to the Executable file rule using the Create Rule Wizard

Open the Create Rule Wizard. For more information, see Using the Create Rule Wizard.
Specify the Path to an executable file on the client computer or a network share in one of the following ways:
- Type the path to the file, including its extension, in the following format:
  
  \\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Filename.exe
  
  DriveLetter:\Filename.exe
- Use the common % variable and the * and ? wildcards to identify the path, for example, *\filename.exe.
- Use Browse to locate the path. Once you locate the process, a dialog will prompt you to:
  1. Retrieve a digital signature for the rule's Publisher field. Click Yes to add the available digital signature. Click No to skip the prompt.
  2. Create a file version for the file. Click Yes to add the setting. Click No to skip the prompt.
  3. Create a unique cryptographic hash for the file to secure its identification. Click Yes to add the setting. Click No if you are creating the rule for the file for which data is likely to be updated in the future, or for any file with its name within the specified folder.
    
    NOTE: When saving the rule, Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows converts the path into environment variables.
To simplify adding parameters into the rule, click Processes.

NOTE: This option is available only in Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows Professional Edition and Professional Evaluation Edition.
1. Select whether you will create the rule from a process on a local or remote computer.
2. A list of processes running on the computer will open. Locate the process and view its details in the fields to the right:
  - Path: the path to the process's executable.
  - Arguments: the arguments with which the process was started.
  - Publisher: the digital certificate of a publisher.
  - Version: the File Version property.
  - Hash: a unique cryptographic hash.
  - Integrity level: the security level with which the process runs in Windows.
  - Privileges: the privileges granted to the process.
3. Click OK. The data for the processes will be saved to the rule and displayed on the corresponding tabs of the wizard.
4. To troubleshoot a Failed to retrieve processes, refer to documentation for more info error, check the following on the remote computer:

  2. The domain administrator credentials have been provided; and
  3. Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), File and Printer Sharing, and Remote Administration are allowed through the firewall.
Fill in these optional fields, as necessary:
- Arguments: Specify the common or user-defined arguments with which the executable will run. For example, to build a rule that will allow a non-administrator to access the Date/Time tool in the Control Panel from the task bar, enter this data:

  - Arguments: /d c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl

  - File Version: Limit Elevation to those whose File Version property match the ones specified.
  - File Hash: Click Browse to locate the file and create a unique cryptographic hash that limits Elevation to files that match it. This ensures that the rule will not apply to dangerous content that is similarly named and will help prevent security issues.
    
    NOTE: The file hash will not apply to a file that you have modified during program updates, so do not add it to the rule for a file which is likely to be updated, or for any file with the same name in that location.
  - Apply settings to child processes: Ensure that child processes triggered by the rule will not fail due to lack of privileges. This check box is enabled by default.
  - User’s context will be used to resolve system and resource access: Ensure that the Client uses the target's user environment to resolve file and registry access. This might be required to resolve drive mappings, and also if the rule specifies the publisher, version, or file hash for the target process running from a network location.
Define whether the rule will be user-based or computer-based.
- User Policy: Select this option to apply the rule to the user logged into the computer. This option corresponds to the User Configuration node of the Group Policy Management Editor and is the default policy for all editions of Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows.
- Computer Policy: Select this option to apply the rule to a computer regardless of the user logged in. This option corresponds to the Computer Configuration node of the Group Policy Management Editor.
  
  NOTE: This option is available only in Safeguard Privilege Manager for Windows Professional Edition and Professional Evaluation Edition.
