What do the asterisks mean for an object URI rule in Viya 4 Environment Manager?

[Invisigoth]

Hello all.

I have been asked to add, edit and disable rules in the Env Manager for Viya 4. 
The Object URIs look like Linux pathnames, ex: /authorization/rules
Some of these URIs end with an asterisk or two, ex: /authorization/rules/* and /authorization/rules/**

What do these asterisks mean?

Thanks.

An asterisk is a wild card. A single asterisk is any URI at a single path, e.g. /identites/users/* would match /identities/users/sasdemo, but would not match /identities/users/sasdemo/memberships. The double asterisk implies any length path after, so /identities/users/** would match both /identities/users/sasdemo and /identities/users/sasdemo/memberships.
