6.13 Content Filter Policy

This screen lists groups of content filtering settings called policies. Content filtering policies
allow you to have different content filtering settings for different users or groups of users. For
example, you may want to block most employees from accessing finance or stock websites,
but allow the finance department to access these. You can set the selected device to use
external database content filtering and select which web site categories to block and/or log.
To open this screen, click a device, click Device Operation in the menu bar and then click
Device Configuration > Content Filter > Policy in the navigation panel.
