Change a Category to Allow or Block

Important Notes:

Changing default Category Allow/Block settings

The DrawBridge comes with a preset Action for each included Category. When you assign an Action (Allow/Block) to a Category, you're simply applying a change that gets higher priority than the default setting. This means:

1. You don't need to re-specify your Action preference for every built-in Category -- you only need to include the Categories in your Access Policy that you wish to assign a different action to than is default.

   For example: built-in Category Sports is set to a default action of Block.

   • If Block is the action you prefer, you do not need to add it to an Access Policy (eg. Company Preferences) with an action of Block -- the default setting is already doing this.
   • If Allow is the action you prefer, then you do need to add it to an Access Policy (eg. Company Preferences) with an action of Allow to override the default action.

2. In the event a custom Access Policy is removed, the filter will revert to the default Action for that Category.

Default Category settings are Business-focused

The default settings for the Built-in Categories are tightly scoped to business-usage needs. Depending on your usage expectations, you will want to set more categories to Allow in your Company Preferences Access Policy, or in a custom Access Policy.
