Figure 9.8 Current web restrictions and rules

To learn more details about restriction rules for accessing Web pages refer to chap- ter 10.2.

9.4 User preferences

The Preferences tab allows setting of custom web content filtering and user password.

The upper section of the page enables to permit or deny particular items of web pages.

Content filter options

If the checkbox under a filter is enabled, this feature will be available (it will not be blocked by the firewall).

If a certain feature is disabled in the parameters of a user account (see chapter 13.1), a corresponding item within this page is inactive (user cannot change settings of the item). Users are only allowed to make the settings more restrictive. In other words, users cannot enable an HTML item denied by the administrators for themselves.
