Filter criteria contains filter conditions or queries that are used as policy inputs for
an authentication policy. Policy inputs are used to group one or more filter criteria and define
the policy conditions of an authentication policy. For example, an IP Filter Criteria define an IP
address in the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format or a range of IP
addresses.  
You can create filter criteria based on the user's IP address, role, and the user group to which they belong.  
Hinweis:  
You also use the filter criteria created from the Adaptive Authentication module. For more information, see [Adaptive authentication](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XQ5OEG0LBshxmWwXEKVReg "Use the Adaptive authentication policy framework to enforce contextual authentication controls to the right users at the right time. Adaptive authentication uses authentication policies to evaluate authentication requests and then either deny or allow access to your instance based on the specified policy conditions.").

You can create filter criteria for APIs using the same process as filter criteria for adaptive
authentication. For details see [Filter criteria](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/s53SNjzMOx_HfyhgTWRBTw "Filter criteria (also called policy inputs) are used as inputs for policy conditions to verify and meet the requirements of an authentication request.").

* [Create role filter criteria](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nnSRd6PyEKJ5T1c~lh5jMg "Role filter criteria allows you to filter users based on the roles. You can configure an authentication policy to allow or deny access to a list of user roles.")
