Cage Access Guard — ZsTechLabs

Cage Access Guard is a security-focused Chrome extension designed for controlled work environments where freelancers or staff need access to job-related features but must be restricted from sensitive account areas.

It supports Upwork, Freelancer.com, and PeoplePerHour, helping organizations, agencies, and managers lock down critical settings while keeping daily workflows fully usable.

What it does

Blocks access to account, security, billing, and profile settings

Allows normal workflows like job search, bidding, and messaging

Prevents access even via direct URLs

Blocks sensitive API requests related to user, profile, payment, and security data

Automatically syncs rules from a central policy server

Logs restricted actions for audit and monitoring

Keeps login pages accessible, restrictions apply after login

Masks autofilled email and password fields on login screens to reduce shoulder surfing

How it works

Uses a server-managed policy that defines allowed and restricted routes

Policies are fetched securely using an enterprise-managed access token

Restrictions update automatically without user interaction

UI elements and links can be hidden dynamically based on policy

Popup shows extension status only, no manual controls needed

Designed for managed environments

Ideal for restricted workstations, shared systems, or supervised freelancer access

Works alongside Chrome Enterprise policies

Token is never embedded in the extension

Policy endpoint is protected and not publicly accessible

Use cases

Agencies giving limited platform access to operators

Companies preventing accidental or unauthorized account changes

Shared office systems or training environments

Compliance and security-sensitive workflows

Important notes

Requires a managed policy token provided by the organization

Uses a secure remote policy and logging service

Not intended to bypass platform security, but to add an extra enforcement layer

Cage Access Guard gives you centralized control, visibility, and peace of mind while keeping productivity intact.
