This article applies to organisations with an On-Premise setup, and those with a 'Hybrid' setup (both On-Premise Appliance and Cloud).
This article explains how to reorder, edit, turn off or delete these policy types:
- Guardian > Anti-malware > Manage policies.
- Guardian > Web Filter > Manage Policies.
- Guardian > Content Modification > Manage policies.
- Guardian > Block page > Manage Policies.
Reorder policies or folders
Smoothwall applies policies in order of priority, from top to bottom. You can reorder policies in two ways:
- Drag the policy to its new position.
- Select the policy, then select Up or Down to move it to its new position.
Select Save to apply the changes.
Edit a policy or folder
If you edit a field for the Policy folder, your changes will apply to the Policies in the folder. Once you add policies to a Policy folder, you can only edit the fields you defined when you created your Policy folder.
- Select the pencil icon to edit the policy or folder.
- Edit the configuration.
- At the bottom of the page, select Confirm to save your changes.
- On the next page, select Save.
Turn policies or folders on and off
Important
Policies within folders that are not enabled have no effect, even if the policy itself is enabled.
- Select the toggle in the Enabled column.
- Select Save.
Delete a policy or folder
Deleting a Policy folder also deletes all the policies inside it.
Select the X icon to delete the policy or folder.
Note
If Smoothwall removes a Category or Content Modification, it will show “deleted” in your policy table (for example, ‘Deleted Content Mod’). You should delete those policies as they no longer work.
