Managing Groups

Groups are identified in WebTitan through active directory integration.

Once identified, groups can have policies applied to them. Groups can also be ranked in order of priority to determine which policy is applied to a user who is a member of multiple groups. 

Note: Only groups containing users are imported from your active directory to WebTitan.

  • Change the policy assigned to a group. See Changing a Group's Assigned Policy.

  • View a list of users in the group. You can select a user to view more details.

Changing a Group's Assigned Policy

Go to Environment > Groups and view the Policy column to see what policy is currently being applied to a group. You can select a policy name to view the Policy Details page for that policy.

To change a group's assigned policy:

  1. Click on the group to view the Group Details page.

  2. Under Policy, select Inherited or Specific:

    • Inherited: Select this option to apply a policy in order of precedence. See Order of Precedence for Policies.

    • Specific: Select this option to choose a custom policy already created in Content Filtering > Policies.

Group Ranking

Groups can be ranked in order of priority to determine which policy is applied to a user who is a member of multiple groups. Go to Environment > Groups and select the Group Ranking tab to view a list of groups.

Note

Only groups to which policies have been applied are listed; groups without policies are not listed, as they cannot be ranked.

Groups are listed in order of priority, with the highest ranked group at the top of the list.

Use the Group Ranking list to determine which policy will be applied to a user who is a member of multiple groups, with the group closest to the top of this list being used as a user's effective policy.

To change the order of the groups listed in the group ranking, simply drag and drop them to the position required and select Save to save your changes.
