Manage Category Rules 

• Category rules let you control access to websites based on their content type. For example, you may wish to block access to adult websites, comedy sites, social media sites or sports websites.

• You can add multiple website categories to a single category rule. Category rules are another component of a policy, in addition to security rules and B/W lists.

• Security rules focus explicitly on harmful categories like phishing and malware. Category rules let you apply policy to sites that fall under a broader range of topics.

• Click 'Configure' > 'Policy Settings' > 'Category Rules' to open the category rules area:

 

Category Rules - Table of Column Descriptions
Column Header	Description
Rule Name	The label of the rule.
Remark	Comments provided for the rule.
Actions	Edit / delete the rule.

Related information:

• Click 'Configure' > 'Policy' > 'Domain Classification Requests' to find the category of a particular site.

• You can also propose a new category and recommend that an unclassified site is added to our database. See Domain Classification Requests if you need help with this.
  

The category rules area lets you:

• Create a new category rule

• Edit a category rule

• Delete a category rule

Create a new category rule

• Click 'Configure' > 'Policy Settings' > 'Category Rules'
