Issue/Introduction

Is that possible to use operating system environment variables in a path as part of a CB PSC policy rule in the prevention tab of a policy?

Environment

  • Carbon Black Cloud: All versions
  • Windows: all supported versions

Resolution

Environmental variables are supported in policy rules.

Additional Information

  • System variables are allowed, for example:
    • %WINDIR%
  • User variables likeĀ %LOCALAPPDATA% will be ran in Local System Context so they would not be recommended
