ILTERING LEMENTS
Filtering operations include the following elements: groups,
filtering profiles and their components, and rules for filtering.
In the Policy section of the Administrator console, group
types are structured in a tree format in the navigation panel.
There are four group types in the tree list:

• Global Group

• IP groups
• LDAP domain groups
NOTES: If authentication is enabled, the global administrator—
who has all rights and permissions on the Web Filter—will see all
branches of the tree: Global Group, IP, and LDAP. If authentica-
tion is disabled, only the Global Group and IP branches will be
seen.
A group administrator will only see entities assigned to him/her by
the global administrator.
Global Group
The first group that must be set up is the global group,
represented in the tree structure by the global icon
The filtering profile created for the global group represents
the default profile to be used by all groups that do not have
a filtering profile, and all users who do not belong to a group.
