2. To add a new PAM rule, you must click the add button (+) and Soffid will display a new window to fill in the data.

The Name should be an identificative and unique rule name. That field will be mandatory.
The Description should be a brief description of the rule.
The Type allows you to select the rule will be a keyboard or a screen rule. That field will be mandatory.
The Content should be what the rule will detect. For instance, a Linux command like sudo or rm *-r. That field will be mandatory.

3. Then you need to click on the "Apply changes" button to save the new PAM rule.
