## Application granular controls for operations in SaaS applications

Sep 30, 2025

[Gateway](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/)

Gateway users can now apply granular controls to their file sharing and AI chat applications through [HTTP policies](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/http-policies).

The new feature offers two methods of controlling SaaS applications:

* **Application Controls** are curated groupings of Operations which provide an easy way for users to achieve a specific outcome. Application Controls may include *Upload*, *Download*, *Prompt*, *Voice*, and *Share* depending on the application.
* **Operations** are controls aligned to the most granular action a user can take. This provides a fine-grained approach to enforcing policy and generally aligns to the SaaS providers API specifications in naming and function.

Get started using [Application Granular Controls](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/http-policies/granular-controls) and refer to the list of [supported applications](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/http-policies/granular-controls/#compatible-applications).
