Create or Edit a Shield Policy
Overview
Create a Shield Policy to apply specific Domain Filtering and Traffic Filtering settings to one or more User Groups. You can also edit an existing policy to change its settings or User Group assignments.
CloudConnexa uses the same configuration page for creating and editing policies. For information about how policies apply to users, Networks, and Hosts, refer to About Shield Policies.

You configure a Shield Policy using five tabs:
Overview: Configure the Policy name, description, and User Group assignments. When editing a policy, this tab also displays policy details, including who created and last modified the policy and when.
Domain Filtering: Configure Domain Filtering protection levels and content categories. Refer to Domain Filtering.
Domain Allow List: Specify domains that the policy allows.
Domain Block List: Specify domains that the policy blocks.
Traffic Filtering: Configure Traffic Filtering protection levels and categories. Refer to Traffic Filtering.
