How to Use Website Classification in Category Management - AnySecura Manual
This guide will help you build a custom website classification system using the AnySecura Category Management module. You'll learn how to organize websites into meaningful groups, which is the essential first step for effective web monitoring and policy enforcement.
From creating categories and using wildcards to define website identifiers, to efficiently importing, searching, and managing your entire library, these steps will give you the tools to tailor web access control precisely to your organization's needs.
Administrators can categorize websites according to enterprise needs, making it easier to monitor and control employee browsing by category.
Click Classification Management → Website to open the website category window. By default, no categories exist, so administrators must manually add website categories and website identifiers. Website identifiers support wildcards.
