Add a CatchPulse Global Allowlist

Note: This section applies to users who have a valid CatchPulse Pro license

To add a CatchPulse Global Allowlist

On the main navigation bar, go to CatchPulse → Global Allowlist.
Click Add Global Allowlist from the top right corner of the Global Allowlist page.

For the Add Global Allowlist display box, edit as below:

Choose to add a Global Allowlist from an Application or Command Line tab.

For Application, upload an executable file and specify the Trust Level.

The following table lists the different trust level you can assign to applications or files.

TRUST LEVEL	DESCRIPTION
Trusted Application	The application is allowed to be executed, but all the files that are created by a Trusted Application will be Not Trusted. Example: explorer.exe is a Trusted Application, but all files that are created by explorer.exe will not be automatically trusted. Using explorer.exe, a user may copy any files from anywhere, and all of these files cannot be automatically set as Trusted Application without the administrator approval. Similar situations apply for applications such as Internet Browser, FTP, e-mail client, etc. For better security measurement, most of applications should fall under this category.
Trusted Installer	Installer, uninstaller, and updater applications usually fall into this category. A Trusted Installer is allowed to be executed, and all files that are created or rename by a Trusted Installer will be automatically set as Trusted Application. There is a special exception for update process. When a Trusted Installer found that the file already exists, and the trust level has been set to be Trusted Installer, Trusted Installer will not downgrade the file as a Trusted Application; instead it will keep the trust level as it is.
