Can the Barracuda Web Filtering Service block different sites for different users?
Yes, the Barracuda Web Filtering Service enables administrators to customize policies for specific users, groups, and IP address ranges in the organization. Administrators also can establish usage thresholds by schedule, bandwidth, requests or browsing time. Sample uses for these capabilities include: • Restricting access to job board Web sites to only the Human Resources group • Defining separate policies for teachers and students at a school • Enabling compliance officers unrestricted access to the Web for investigation • Providing external instant messaging (e.g., AIM) access only to specific users or groups • Restricting personal Web browsing to non-working hours The Barracuda Web Filtering Service integrates with popular LDAP compatible directory servers to facilitate transparent user authentication.
