CONFIGURE AND T EST THE R3000 G ROUP SETUP FOR DIFFERENT USER TYPES ON THE NETWORK8 M86 S ECURITY, R3000 E VALUATION GUIDEHow is a Profile used?A Profile defines the particular filtering parameters assigned to a group or indi-vidual. There are two kinds of Profiles. The first is the Global Group Profile.Category Profile tabThe default for the Global Group Profile is set up under the Category Profile tab ofthe Global Group’s administrative controls. Its default is set at custom and uncate-gorized sites are not blocked (note the Uncategorized Sites pull-down menu at thebottom of the window). The custom setting allows the administrator to immediatelyassign Library Categories to be passed, always allowed, warned or blocked toestablish the initial default level of filtering assigned to every user (IP address) untilthat user (IP address) is assigned a sub-group or individual profile. The GlobalGroup Profile setting doesn’t use Rules, only library categories.The second profile is the Group Profile. A Group Profile is assigned to an IPGroup under the Global Group and can contain filtering parameters different fromthe Global Group default. For example, a company may have a Global GroupProfile that blocks access to all sites in the earlier LegalLiability Rule example, i.e.Pornography/Adult Content, Child Pornography, Explicit Art, Obscene and Taste-less, and R-Rated. That means every employee (or every computer the employeesuse) is subject to those filter parameters. However…Let’s say the employees in the marketing department need to access photoservices, online publications and other sites that might contain some adult content—or at least suggestive images. An administrator can set up a Group that issubject to a custom profile, which might be called Marketing, which is different*from the Global Group Profile, to allow access to the R-Rated library category. Thisgroup, or range of IP addresses, now exists within the Global Group, but withdifferent filtering criteria. The rest of the Global Group (all other IP addresses)remain filtered by the default Global Group Profile, which includes R-Rated.
