Managing application rights

By default, application activity is controlled based on the application rights that are defined for the specific trust group that Kaspersky Endpoint Security assigned to the application when it started for the first time. If necessary, you can edit the application rights for an entire trust group, for an individual application, or for a group of applications within a trust group.

Manually defined application rights have a higher priority than application rights that were defined for a trust group. In other words, if manually defined application rights differ from the application rights defined for a trust group, the Host Intrusion Prevention component controls application activity according to the manually defined application rights.

The rules that you create for applications are inherited by child applications. For example, if you deny all network activity for cmd.exe, all network activity will also be denied for notepad.exe if it is started using cmd.exe. When an application is not a child of the application it runs from, rules are not inherited.
