Add a Content Category Setting

Umbrella's content categories organize destinations—in this case, websites—into categories based on the type of information served by the website: for example, gambling, social networking, or alcohol. To block identity access to destinations that serve up content of a type (for example, pornography), you select content categories when adding policies—either by selecting individual content categories or pre-configured sets of content categories. The advantage to adding a Content Category setting is that you can reuse this setting across multiple policies. For more information about selecting content categories through the policy wizard, see Add a Policy.

Prerequisites

• Full admin access to the Umbrella dashboard. See Manage User Roles.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Policies > Policy Components > Content Categories and click Add.

2. Give your setting a good descriptive Setting Name.

3. From the Copy From Existing drop-down list, choose a categorization level:

• None—No content categories are selected and you must manually select content categories.
• High—Selects content categories to block adult-related status, illegal activity, social networking, video sharing site, and general time-wasters.
• Moderate—Selects content categories to block all adult-related websites and illegal activity.
• Low—Selects content categories to blocks pornography and anonymous web surfing.
• Default Settings—No content categories are selected and you must manually select content categories.

4. Select New and Legacy Content Categories to which you want to block identity access and then click Save.
   For a list and definition of available categories, see Content Category Definitions and Legacy Content Category Definitions.
   This new Content Category setting is now available for selection when you add a policy.
