When allowing the iPlayer category in a normal web filter policy, all content in the iPlayer will be allowed by default. A content modification category has been added which enables enforcing the parental guidance lock on BBC iPlayer. Our Blocklist team have released a new Content Modification Rule which will prevent users from viewing Adult Content.
Procedure
- To use this content modification category, create a new policy with the following settings, see our help topic, Creating content modification policies:
- Who: Everyone*
- What: BBC iPlayer
- Where: Everywhere*
- Action: Apply BBC iPlayer - Enforce Parental Guidance Lock [New]
* Change Who, Where and When as appropriate.
- To allow access to BBC iPlayer in your web filter policies, create a policy similar to the following, see our help topic, Creating web filter policies:
- Who: Everyone*
- What: BBC iPlayer
- Where: Everywhere*
- When: Always*
- Action: Allow
* Change Who, Where and When as appropriate.
- Make sure this policy is above the Core Blocked Content policy in your policy table, see our help topic, Managing web filter policies.
Our team are still investigating whether it is possible to apply a similar rule to 4oD. However these work in a different way and we are currently unable to enforce Adult content removal on this site.
