CONFIGURE AND T EST THE R3000 GROUP SETUP FOR DIFFERENT USER TYPES ON THE NETWORKM86 S ECURITY, R3000 EVALUATION G UIDE 7Rules and Profiles: Creating and using eachDescription: Rules and Profiles may seem confusing as it often appears that theyare used interchangeably. And, while the administrative windows controlling thecreation of Rules and Profiles are very similar, they each serve two distinctpurposes.NOTE: The general rule of thumb: A Rule can be applied to a Profile, but a Profilecan’t be applied to a Rule. A Rule is a custom configuration of Blocked, Passed,Warned, and Always Allowed categories. A Profile contains the particular filteringparameters that are unique to a group or individual, and consists of Library Catego-ries, Rules, Ports and numerous other filtering features that can be turned on or off.How is a Rule used?A Rule is a custom set of Library Categories. For example RuleX can be namedLegalLiability and be set to block the library categories Pornography/AdultContent, Child Pornography, Explicit Art, Obscene and Tasteless, and R-Rated.This Rule is then saved, eliminating the need to rebuild that set of Library Catego-ries the next time that same particular set of categories needs to be applied to agroup or individual. The Rule becomes part of a Profile that defines the filteringparameters for a group or individual.Rule tab in profile window
