Cloudflare Zero Trust Access Policy
Define who can reach a protected resource, once, and attach it to many applications.
A Cloudflare Zero Trust Access policy is a reusable, account-scoped decision — allow, deny, non-identity (service tokens), or bypass — combined with the include/exclude/require rules that decide who it applies to. Policies attach to Access applications by reference, so one policy can guard many apps and its rules live in one place.
Highlights
- Reusable decisions — one policy, attached to many applications.
- Full rule surface — every Cloudflare Access rule type, including reusable group references, IdP groups, device posture, service tokens, and user-risk.
- Governance built in — approval workflows, purpose justification, browser isolation, and per-policy MFA.
- Composable — references
CloudflareZeroTrustAccessGroups; referenced byCloudflareZeroTrustAccessApplications, all through the resource graph.
Typical use
Pair with CloudflareZeroTrustAccessGroup (reusable rule bundles) and
CloudflareZeroTrustAccessApplication (the protected resource) to model your
organization's access control as a composable graph.
