Global policies

Cloudflare Zero Trust applies a set of global policies to all accounts.

Zero Trust logs prepend an identifier to global policy names. For example, matches for the global policy Allow Zero Trust Services will appear in your logs with the name Global Policy - Allow Zero Trust Services.

The following policies are sorted by order of precedence.
