Applying a WebAdmin Policy Template to a Group

Template-driven Group and Policy management allows you to standardize Group settings using WebAdmin, Policy, and Category Templates.  A WebAdmin Template contains Policies with their Categories, URL List entries and other settings. A WebAdmin Template also specifies a Policy Event (time duration), Deny Pages, Logging Mode, Client Thresholds, Group Language, Enforced Categories and IP Range Restrictions (when ‘Enabled Group Restrictions’ is applied).
 

When applying a Template, these items are copied over:

• Policies (Categories, Shared and Local Lists)
• Policy Events (time durations)

Items not copied over are:

• Clients
• Reports
• Managers (Accounts)
• Authentication Redirect Settings
  
   

Resetting a Group with a WebAdmin Template
 

The admin has created a WebAdmin Template called ‘School Template’.  We will apply this template to the existing Groups.

1.    In the Policy Management > Group Manager, click Grade_09 Group.

 

2.    Click the Advanced tab and then the arrow beside ‘Reset based on WebAdmin Template’.

 

3.    Select School_Template and click Submit.

 

4.    The ‘Successfully reset the group’ message displays.

 

5.    Repeat the procedure for the other Groups.
 

Creating a New Group from a WebAdmin Template
 

Once WebAdmin Templates are available, you can apply it when creating a Group.
