If you've modified the already-existing access-config.json file, you shouldn't restart FLS. Use the following parameters to configure the rules.
Depending on type of the list, the triggered rule will either grant or reject a license for the received request. Each rule is a set of conditions that should all match to trigger the rule. The access-config.json file consists of one or several lists of rules: the whitelist, the blacklist, and the priority list. To set user restrictions, create the access-config.json file and specify its path. This request is compared to the set of rules defined by the FLS administrator, and a license is either granted or rejected. When a user wants to obtain a license, the IDE sends a request to License Server.
If you need to restrict someone's access to licenses, or you have prioritized users, who should get a license even if there are none available, the FLS administrator can configure user restrictions.
