Accountability

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

An Accountabilility Policy provides:

• Central administration of Accountability-associated Report Presets and Access Policies for all Member Companies
  • All Report Presets of a Policy automatically propagate to all Member Companies.
  • Access Policies associated with an Accountability policy are made available to all Member Companies as a Policy Group that can be easily joined by Member Companies. Changes to that particular Access Policy (Group) automatically propagate to all Member Companies that are part of the Access Policy.
• Accountability Contacts associated to that Accountability Policy can access report information and view filter policy configuration for that Company (see Accountability Policy Roles below).
• Community Accountability-level Preference configurations to override Company-level Preference configurations (see Preferences page for more information).

ExampleExamples

Administrator Role

The people in the Golden Sands Christian Fellowship church community want to have a uniform content filter policy across their brotherhood, as well as have specific individuals responsible to administer the policy and review all their web usage.

To answer this need, the Golden Sands Christian Fellowship Accountability Policy is created,created with Administrator role, and several people are associated with it as Accountability Contacts (see Relationships page for more information).

This Accountability Policy has several associations:

• The people that are designated as Accountability Contacts.
• A Church Preferences Access Policy that sets the Action on a number of Categories to Allow.
• A Summary Report configured that displays the genres of information being accessed by each Company, to be sent to the designated Accountability Contacts.

Those Companies using DrawBridge filtering in this context add the brotherhoodGolden thenSands opt-inChristian Fellowship policy to their CompaniesCompany to the Policy.record. This performs the following:

• Enables the specified Accountability Contacts to view the report data and filter configurations of all Member Companies in the DrawBridge Console.
• Makes the centrally-administered Church Preferences Access Policy available to them to apply to their Company.
  • Each Company Owner then applies the Church Preferences Access Policy by assigning it to his alldevices Device Group.
• Automatically configures the Summary report to the member Company, with delivery to the Accountability Contacts.

Reviewer Role

The people in the Salem Christian Fellowship community want to have a uniform content filter policy across their brotherhood. Either outside IT provider or Compass Foundation will administrate the settings and provide technical support.

The Salem Christian Fellowship policy is created with the Reviewer role. They will have Read-Only access to review Reports and Access Policy settings. Any required changes will be channeled by the Company to IT Provider or Compass Foundation.
