Base Policy Overriding New Policy

Hi,

I needed to set up a new policy for our developers to access blocked websites.

I have cloned the Base policy to create a new one disabling Acceptable web usage and added the relevant users but certain websites are still being blocked, when I disable Acceptable web usage in the Base policy the websites are accessible. Why is the Base policy overriding the new Web Controlled policy?

Thanks,

James

HI James,

Could you let us know any website which is blocked , We may check if the policy is allowing or not

Hi Aditya,

I'm happy for the websites to be blocked but I would like to create a policy for certain users to be able to access these sites. At the moment I'm having to edit the base policy so now all my users can access these sites.

Thanks

www.bing.com was being blocked through my policies, even though search engines are allowed.

Hi Aditya,

Below is one of the sites being blocked which is fine I just want to create a policy that allows certain users to have Web Control disabled.
