Include an option in the CAP rules to allow files to be blocked based on their source

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

Several clients have requested the ability to block the export of files originating from a specific source, such as \server\sensitive_share, for a specific group of users.
For example, they would like to block access for everyone except the HR department.
Currently, when a folder is defined under “Denylists and Allowlists > Denylist > File Location”, access is blocked for all users without exception.

Hello Fauvet,

Thank you for sharing your idea with us!

After assessing the technical feasibility of implementing file tracking and monitoring from their specific source and address the use case you described, we’ve determined that your suggestion is indeed valuable and based on further comprehensive investigation and conclusions, we might plan to integrate it into the product.
Please stay tuned for future updates, which we will communicate as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we recommend continuing to use the Deny and Allow lists as a workaround.

All the best,
Simona
