To create an exception rule

Steps

  1. On the Web Categories tab, click a category name.
  2. Click Add exception.
  3. The rule State is set to ON by default, meaning the rule will be enabled for the users and groups you select. If you want to set up a rule but not enable it immediately, click the State switch to set it to OFF.
  4. Enter a Name and Description for the rule.
  5. Select the Action to apply from the drop-down list.
    • For the Confirm action, enter the time period for which a user who clicks Continue can access sites in the selected category or categories.
    • For Use Quota, any further options depend on the quota time configured on the policy’s General tab. If the policy has an overall daily quota set, that quota applies to the exception and cannot be changed. If the policy is using the per-category daily quota, enter the total quota time and session length available to users and groups in the rule.
  6. Select the Time period during which the rule is active.
  7. For an exception that should be applicable to roaming users only, mark Apply only when user is roaming.
  8. Select the category or categories to which the rule applies. To select multiple categories, use the Shift and/or Ctrl keys.
  9. Enter or select the users and groups that will use the rule. You can also specify that the rule applies to all users and groups in the policy except the group you select.
  10. Click Submit.
