        • Note: If there is any text associated with the Requestor Email Address before calling this API and different text or "" is provided, it will overwrite anything previously existing.
        • Expects: Any text input
      • ticketApprovalManager: This field will populate any text entered into the Approving Manager text box in the Tickets Details tab of the Approval Request in the ThreatLocker Portal and is optional to include altogether if no changes are desired.

        • Expects: Text of the full filepath 
    • matchingApplications: Before utilizing the fields below, it is recommended to utilize the ApplicationGetMatchingList and ApplicationGetByParameters API, documentation link below. To find potential matching applications, use the file information from the request being processed and pass it into the ApplicationGetMatchingList API. To find existing applications that can be added to, use the ApplicationGetByParameters API. Ensure the corresponding OS Type and managedOrganizationId are used so accurate results are shown. The following fields must be entered when processing the request when using either a matching, existing, or new application. However, only the fields related to how the request will be processed are required to be entered. For example, when using a matching application, only the fields useMatchingApplications and matchingApplication (plus all other sub-fields listed under matchingApplication) are necessary.

Creating Custom Rules | ThreatLocker Help Center

• • • • • fullPath: This field expects either the full or partial file path of the requested file to be entered to create a custom rule using this and other fields. Be sure to use \\ instead of a single \ for the existing slashes in the path. Wildcards can be used in this field like they can in the ThreatLocker Portal, as shown in this example: 
          c:\\users\\*\\downloads\\steamsetup.exe.
          • Expects: Full file path or partial path with wildcards
        • processPath: This field expects either the full or partial process path of the associated process path to be entered to create a custom rule using this and other fields. Be sure to use \\ instead of a single \ for the existing slashes in the path. Wildcards can be used in this field like they can in the ThreatLocker Portal, as shown in this example: 
          c:\\program files (x86)\\mozilla * service\\update\\updater.exe.
          • Expects: Full process path or partial process path with wildcards
        • cert: This field expects either the full or partial certificate path or the full SHA of the certificate to be entered to create a custom rule using this and other fields. Wildcards should not be used in this field since this field checks for a certificate path that "contains" what is in the entered certificate. This effectively adds a wildcard already on either side of the certificate of what you enter.
          • Expects: Full certificate path or partial certificate path without wildcards OR full SHA of the certificate
        • hash: This field expects the full hash to be entered to create a rule using this field. This field is used when creating a rule based on either the ThreatLocker hash or the SHA256 hash. When creating a hash rule, only the hash should be used in the rule. No other fields should be applied with the hash rule when using this field. When permitting a hash value, it effectively permits the one file requested. A separate rule utilizing a selection of the other fields covered in this section can be created to allow for future proofing related to the requested file. Wildcards should not be used with this field, only full hash values.
          • Expects: Full ThreatLocker hash or SHA256 hash 
        • createdBy: This field expects either the full or partial created by process path of the associated created by process path to be entered to create a custom rule using this and other fields.

          c:\\program files (x86)\\microsoft\\edgeupdate\\*\\setup.exe.
          • Expects: Full created by process path or partial created by process path with wildcards
      • ruleId: This field is used when looking to enable a Maintenance Mode when processing an Approval Request. This field expects one of the following Integer values to be entered

        • 3 = Enable Monitor Mode for one hour
    • policyLevel: The following fields are only necessary when creating a new policy through the Approval Request. These fields indicate where a new policy will be created. Only one of the following fields should be set to true in order to create a policy at the desired level.
      • toEntireOrganization: This field will set the new policy at the entire organization level, specifically, it will create the new policy at the entire organization where the requesting computer exists.
        • Expects: true or false
      • toComputerGroup: This field will indicate that the new policy will be created at the computer group level, specifically at the computer group specified below in selectedComputerGroup.
      • selectedComputerGroup: The fields below determine the computer group that the new policy will apply to when creating a computer group policy. 
        • computerGroupId: This field expects the computerGroupId where the new policy will be created to be entered. Any computer group returned using the ComputerGroupGetForPermitApplication API endpoint can be used with this field. For accurate results, be sure to use the corresponding managedOrganizationId (the organization where the request originated from) as indicated in the documentation linked below.

  • Fields
    • elevationExpiration: This field determines what the expiration of Elevation will be on a newly created policy. When this field is used and Elevation expires before the new permit policy does, two policies are created in the ThreatLocker Portal. One policy will be created with Elevation enabled, with the expiration specified in this field. The other policy will be created with no Elevation to permit the application once Elevation expires. This field only affects the expiration of Elevation and does not affect the expiration of the policy as a whole. The overall policy expiration configuration is completed with the policyExpirationDate field. This field expects an Integer and indicates the amount of time in hours from when this API is called that Elevation will be enabled on the policy. When this field is set to 0 and Elevation is set to be enabled, Elevation will never expire on the newly created policy.

    • policyExpirationDate: This field determines if a new policy that will be created from the Approval Request will expire. This expects a time entered in UTC in format "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ", where YYYY is the year, the first MM is the month, DD is the day, HH are the hours, the second MM is the minutes, and SS are the seconds. The T must be included to designate the time and should not be changed or removed.
      • Expects expiration date and time in format: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"
    • ringfencingOptions: This field is used to specify the conditions when Ringfencing will be applied to a new policy that will be created. The following fields can be combined to add the desired amount of Ringfencing and initial exclusions, like what can be created in the ThreatLocker Portal Approval Request window.
