There are age/profile specific categories to allow you to modify the URLs that specific profiles can access:
- Pre-9 Block: block PRIMARY profile only
- Pre-12 Block: block MIDDLE, PRIMARY profile
- Pre-16 Block: block SECONDARY, MIDDLE, & PRIMARY
- Pre-18 Block: block SIXTH FORM, SECONDARY, MIDDLE, & PRIMARY
- Post-16 Only: allow for SIXTH FORM & STAFF only
- Post-12 Only: allow for SECONDARY, SIXTH FORM & STAFF only
-
Post-9 Only: allow for MIDDLE, SECONDARY, SIXTH FORM & STAFF only
As an example, suppose that you want to modify the sites that sixth formers can access. To do this, add the URL as normal in the appropriate category:
To BLOCK a URL:
- Log into the Protex admin console
- Go to List Management > Block URL
- Add the URL to block lists under category 'Pre-18 Block'.
To ALLOW a URL:
- Log into the Protex admin console
- Go to List Management > Allow URL
- Add the URL to allow lists (Trusted or ContentChecked) under category 'Post-16 Only'. Then restart Protex to confirm the list changes.
For other profiles the process is similar but you must remember that the (un)blocking is cumulative. For example, blocking a URL to the MIDDLE profile will also block it to the PRIMARY one. Similarly, allowing a URL to MIDDLE will allow it for the SECONDARY, SIXTH FORM and STAFF ones but not the PRIMARY profile.
