Tags

Question

Ever wonder what tags were?

I found a great use for them for sites where you want to bot allow and block users from getting to sites.. as well as enforce limited browsing and or schedule a time of day

For example:

Let’’’’s suppose your teachers use abc.com as a resource but it’’’’s not a site you want your students to visit. Because it’’’’s a single site and you want to both allow and deny users it’’’’s often tricky to enforce policy... right?? wrong!

configuration / group policy / additional policy

add

select users : add your TEACHERS AD group to the selected entries

name and schedule : call it teachers allow

check off "turn on this policy for machines connecting anywhere"

save

then create another tag

configuration / group policy / additional policy

add

select users : add your STUDENTS AD group to the selected entries

name and schedule : call it students-deny

check off "turn on this policy for machines connecting anywhere"

save

This gives you 2 tags.. one that will override policy for teachers and one that will specifically deny the students..

you can now apply those tags to sites listed in the local site list.

for example:

configuration / group policy / local sitelist

click Add Site

enter url : facebook.com

modify the site properties: select the teachers allow tag, click add then select the students deny tag and add it.

Effect:

This will allow teachers and deny students with out having to reclassify the site or get all convoluted with your policy.
