Override Account Setup:

The Override Account window is used for creating an override account that allows an authorized LDAP or IP group user to bypass settings at the minimum filtering level. A user in an IP group with an override account will be able to access categories and service ports blocked at the minimum filtering level, if the option to bypass the minimum filtering level is activated.

NOTE: For override accounts set up in an IP group, the global administrator must first activate the option to allow an override account to bypass minimum filtering level settings in order for a user with an override account to access categories and ports set up to be blocked at the group level.

In a mobile filtering environment, override accounts are not available for mobile users.

1. In the Account Details frame, enter the username in the Name field.
2. Enter the Password.
3. Make the same entry again in the Confirm Password field.
4. Click Add to include the username in the list box of the Current Accounts frame, and to open the pop-up window.
5. Make entries and specify criteria in the following tabs to complete the override account: Rule, Redirect, Filter Options.
6. Click Apply to save your entries.
7. Click Close to close the pop-up window.
