Filtering Profile Types:

A filtering profile is used by all users who are set up to be filtered on the network. This profile consists of rules that dictate whether a user has access to a specified Web site or service on the Internet.

There are 10 types of filtering profiles that can be created, based on the group type(s) set up in the tree menu of the Policy section of the Administrator console:

1. Global filtering profile - the default filtering profile that is positioned at the base of the hierarchical tree structure.
2. Override account profile - in the Global Group menu, this profile can be set up for a specified user who is not in an IP group, and in the master IP group menu, this profile can be set up for a specified user in an master IP group
3. Master IP group filtering profile - takes precedence over the global filtering profile.
4. IP sub-group filtering profile - takes precedence over the IP group filtering profile.
5. Individual IP member filtering profile - takes precedence over the IP sub-group filtering profile.
6. LDAP container filtering profile - takes precedence over the LDAP domain filtering profile.
7. LDAP group filtering profile - takes precedence over the LDAP container filtering profile.
8. LDAP member filtering profile - takes precedence over other LDAP filtering profiles.
9. LDAP workstation filtering profile - used by an LDAP workstation in an LDAP domain. This is a static profile that is tied to the IP address of a given workstation and not to a particular user, and takes precedence over the LDAP member filtering profile.
10. Time filtering profile - set up to be used at a specified time by a designated IP or LDAP entity.
