Filtering Elements
Filtering operations include the following elements: groups,
filtering profiles and their components, and rules for filtering.
Group Types
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.
