4. Enter the criteria for considering a share to be open:

   • Enter the threshold for users that have access to the data on a share. Or select the user(s) or group(s) that have access to the data on a share. You can choose to select both conditions simultaneously.

   • You can choose to specify the users and groups that have permissions on the share. Use the users and groups selection widget or upload a .csv file with the users and groups information. The selected entities are listed in the Selected Users/Groups pane.

     You can type a name in the search bar to search for a user or group. You can also type a domain name in the Domain Filter field to narrow your search to users in a specific domain. You can also filter a user or group from the Select Filter drop-down. Select the All Filtered Users check box in the Selected Users/Group pane to include all filtered users in the policy definition.

     All the configured users and groups are displayed on the open share policy definition page.
