Chapter 3: Alerts, Lockout Management

After setting up gauges for monitoring end user Internet
activity, notifications for Internet abuse should be set up in
the form of policy alerts. These messages inform the admin-
istrator when an end user has triggered an alert for having
reached the threshold limit established for a gauge. If the
end user was locked out of Internet/network for an indefinite
time period as a result of his/her Internet activity, the admin-
istrator can determine when to unlock that end user's work-
station.
These functions are available to a group administrator only
if permissions were granted by the administrator who set up
his/her account, as detailed in Chapters 2 and 3 of the
Preliminary Setup Section.
