To have different policies in establishments using DHCP you will need to set up at least one IP-based Policy. This Policy should be suitable for the youngest pupils likely to be using the internet. The Policy should be associated with the school's IP range. Once this is in effect, the school administrator can set up user based policies - as many as may be required. For example, there may be a general Policy for all staff, another one for senior staff, yet another for Nominated Contacts and policies for different year groups.
The filtering administrator also needs to create the relevant User Groups to which the policies can be applied. Once the User Groups and the policies are in place, an association between each Policy and each User Group must be made.
When this is done, per-user filtering is in effect and will allow different users to be filtered by the appropriate policies. When members of staff access the internet, initially they will be doing so under the generic Policy that applies to all IPs. However, once they get blocked from accessing a particular site, they will be able to use the login button, found on the block page, to log into the filtering system using their USO accounts. It is after this point that the user will be given the Policy that is appropriate for them.
When users who have logged in this way finish their browsing session, they should log out, using the button provided in the pop-up window which opened when they logged in.
