Understanding assignment rules

Assignment rules are used to automatically assign discovered certificates to designated organizations and departments. These rules are applied to certificate buckets, which are associated with certificate discovery tasks.

When a discovered certificate matches all conditions of an assignment rule, it is automatically assigned to the specified organization and department.

Assignment rules can be managed on the Discovery  Assignment Rules page.
