Using wildcards in disclaimer rules
The only supported wildcard character in chat, disclaimer and content rules is the asterisk *
. It matches any number of characters (zero or more).
Wildcard matches are performed against user names and group names.
For example, if you use *East*
, any user who happens to be in a group named SouthEast Sales
would be considered a match. It is therefore recommended to use longer, unique words with a higher specificity to reduce the potential of unwanted matches.
So, if you only want to match people who have an organizational unit /East/US
in their name, use */East/US
rather than just *East*
.
Examples
F*bar
matches both Foobar
and Fobar
*/Instant
matches both Peyton McManus/Instant
and Lisa McManus/Instant
P*/Instant
matches Peyton McManus/Instant
but not Lisa McManus/Instant
