Unblock categories for certain user

Hello Ricky,

welcome to the forum!

The first thing you need to differentiate between users is an authentification service, for instance against an ADS.

Then enable this for your webproxy:

Active Directory SSO: This mode will attempt to authenticate the user who is currently logged in to the computer as the user of the proxy (single sign on). If the currently logged in user is a valid AD user with permission to use the proxy, the authentication should occur with no user interaction. You must have configured Active Directory Single Sign-On (SSO) on the Definitions & Users > Authentication Services > Servers tab. Clients can authenticate with NTLM or Kerberos.

Have a look here for a howto for ADS SSO: https://www.fastvue.co/sophos/blog/sophos-utm-and-active-directory-step-by-step-integration-guide/

Then you could define different filter policies for different users / user groups.

Selamat pagi Ricky,

I note that you've posted the same question in the Intercept X forum, so if you don't have a UTM, our responses here may not apply to your issue.

Agreed with Philipp that the best approach is using AD if that is available to you.  Otherwise, you can create a Web Filtering Profile that allows Google ads for specific IPs.  If you're assigning IPs to devices with a DHCP server in the UTM, make sure that fixed IPs assigned to certain MAC addresses are outside of the range of those assigned randomly by the UTM DHCP server.

Cheers - Bob
