Failed Authentication
Note
If an Identity allows guest access and there is no user-defined policy that uses that Identity, users who
fail authentication match the global policy of the applicable policy type. For example, if MyIdentity
allows guest access and there is no user-defined Access Policy that uses MyIdentity, users who fail
authentication match the global Access Policy. If you do not want guest users to match a global policy,
create a policy above the global policy that applies to guest users and blocks all access.
