Summary
auth-proxy-non-identity@<team-domain>.cloudflareaccess.com) used for background/sub-requests through authorization proxy endpoints.Context
When using authorization proxy endpoints, browsers do not attach the identity cookie to HTTP sub-requests (background requests). These requests are logged with a fixed non-identity email address. The previous documentation mentioned a "non-identity email address" but did not specify the actual format, making it difficult for admins to set up filtering policies.
