TRITON AP-WEB and Web Filter & Security, v8.0.x, v8.1.x
Unconditional Super Administrators can create a Filter Lock to define categories and protocols that delegated administrators cannot permit for any clients. When delegated administrators edit policies, categories and protocols that a Super Administrator has blocked via the Filter Lock appear Blocked and Locked (the red Block icon is displayed with an overlapping Lock icon).
Clients managed by the Super Administrator role can be given access to categories and protocols blocked and locked for clients managed in other roles. For example, if company executives, members of the legal team, or investigators were managed by the Super Administrator role, they can be given access to sites blocked for most members of the organization.
1.
On the Main tab of the left navigation pane, click Filter Lock (under Policy Management).
2.
Under Manage Filter Components, click Categories.
3.
Scroll to the first category that you want to lock, and then click the category name. Expand parent categories to see subcategories.
4.
Use the Advanced Filtering check boxes to select which features you want to lock for the selected category:
*
Lock category blocks access to the category.
*
Lock keywords causes keyword blocking to be enabled.
*
Lock file types causes file-type blocking to be enabled.
These settings affect all category filters managed by delegated administrators in all roles (except for those managed by the Super Administrator role).
5.
Repeat for each additional category that you want to lock.
6.
When you are finished making changes, click OK to return to the Filter Lock page.
7.
Under the Manage Filter Components, click Protocols.
8.
As with categories, identify the protocols that you want to block and lock, and use the Advanced Filtering check boxes to make your changes.
9.
When you are finished, click OK to return to the Filter Lock page.
10.
Click Save All or Save and Deploy to implement your changes to the Filter Lock.
