Accountability Policies

As noted on the Accountability page under the Essential Concepts module:

The DrawBridge supports an Accountability model to facilitate voluntary, centrally-administered, information sharing and content filter configuration of Member Companies by specified administrators in a community context.

Accountability Policy

An Accountability Policy consists of the Accountability Policy name and contains Member Companies.

Also, an Accountability Policy contains Preferences (specific controls over member companies) and configures Report Presets (default report settings and recipients) for member companies.
