To allow or block a site, including all content stored in its subfolders, enter the highest level URL of the site.
For example, allowing http://www.example.com/ lets the user view all pages in www.example.com. However, blocking http://www.example.com/banned/ prevents the user from viewing content stored in www.example.com/banned/, including all subfolders in /banned/ (but allows the user to view pages in www.example.com that are not in /banned/).

Allowing Access Only to Specific Websites
You can use Workgroup Manager to allow access only to specific websites on computers with Mac OS X v10.5 or later.
If the user tries to visit a website that he or she is not allowed to access, the web browser loads a webpage that lists all sites the user is allowed to access.
To help direct users to allowed sites, the user’s bookmarks are replaced by the websites you allow access to. The bookmarks created by allowing access to websites are called managed bookmarks.
If the user syncs bookmarks with .Mac, the first time the user syncs he or she is asked if
.Mac should merge or replace its bookmarks with the managed bookmarks. If the user merges bookmarks, the .Mac bookmarks will include the original .Mac bookmarks and the managed bookmarks. If the user replaces bookmarks, the .Mac bookmarks will include only the managed bookmarks.
You can also use Workgroup Manager to block specific websites instead of blocking all websites. For more information, see “Preventing Access to Adult Websites” on page 217.
