Web Policy Management. Exclusions
Expand all | Collapse all
In this window, you can create a list of exclusions from the configured Web Policy Management settings. Access settings that affect websites added to the exclusion list are applied both when blocking websites by categories (the Block access to websites from selected categories button) and when blocking all websites (the Block access to all websites button).
For example, you can allow access to websites from the Internet communication category but add the www.example.com website to the list of exclusions to block access to that particular website. In this case, Web Policy Management allows access to all social networks except the example.com social network. You can also block all websites and add a webmail website access to which will be allowed to the list of exclusions. In this case, Web Policy Management allows the user to access the webmail website only.
