Summary

Request rules: what happens to a request before its module view runs.

Description

Request rules: what happens to a request before its module view runs.

Guide with every condition, action and fact, and recipes: doc/eng-us/bc/6.0/view_full_security.md

A rule is a group [Rule-<name>] with conditions and an action. The rules named in RuleList[] are asked in that order about every module view the kernel is about to run -- after the URL alias is translated and after the user's role policies allowed the view. The first rule whose conditions all match decides; when none does, the request runs as it always has.

Rules only ever take access away or send the visitor elsewhere. They never give access that a policy refused.
