For any scenario, create a default User, and apply the default policy. It's advised that this user should be named according to the site name.



Scenario A 


Apply default policy to all users


STEP 1

1.1 Configure the default user which will be named according to the site name.

 - Make sure the policy is set to the default policy.

STEP 2

2.1 Configure the default blocking policy in Protect Console>Policies.


STEP 3

3.1 Use the token ID for the default User (Created in Step 1), in the Protect Agent cfg.properties file.


STEP 4

Operating SystemCommand
Linux restart
sudo systemctl restart p8dns.service
Windows restart
open service.msc - right click on p8dns.service and click restart


Scenario B 


Allowing access to everything for certain users and applying default policies to the rest of the LAN users.


STEP 1

1.1 Configure the default user which will be named according to the site name.

 - Make sure the policy is set to the default policy.
