4.2.4.1 Quota Time
Policies created under Configuration > Group Policy > Additional Policies can be configured
using the quota time feature. Quota time allows you to create a policy that allows access to certain
sites for a limited amount of time in a day. For instance, you may want to limit access to social
media sites without blocking them completely. Using the quota time feature, you can create policies
for different users and groups to limit access based on categories and tags to a specified amount
of browsing time.
When creating a policy in the Additional Policy Wizard, you can choose Quota from the Action
drop-down on both the Site Categories and Tags page, and then set the allowed minutes for
that policy on the Name and Schedule page. All categories and tags set to Quota for an additional
policy will count towards the allowed minutes for that quota, which can be configured on the Name
and Schedule page of the Additional Policy Wizard.
Note: Sophos Endpoint Web Control cannot enforce quota time. If you use Endpoint Web control
you can configure an alternate action on the Configuration > System > Endpoint Web Control
page. By default, Endpoint Web Control will warn a user when browsing to a site associated with
a quota time policy.
