Limit Web Access

In addition to monitoring user activities on individual desktops, you, as an administrative user, can limit user access to specified websites by indicating permissible websites and websites to which you want to block user access.

To limit web access on a station

  1. In MultiPoint Dashboard, on the Web Limiting tab, click Configure. The Configure Web Limiting page opens. Sites that the user can access are listed.

  2. Click the thumbnail image of the user station on which you want to limit web access.

  3. Under Selected Item Tasks, click Limit web access on this station. The Configure Web Limiting page opens. Sites that the user can access are listed.

  4. To add an allowed site, type the web address, and then click Add.

    Note

    For example, entering "Contoso.com" allows or blocks sites that are relative to www.contoso.com (for example, www.newpage.contoso.com). Entering "Contoso" will either allow or limit all Contoso-related sites (including contoso.com, contoso.uk, and so forth).

  5. To remove a web address from the list of allowed sites, click the web address you want to remove access to, and then click Remove.

    Note

    For example, entering "Contoso.com" allows or blocks sites that are relative to www.contoso.com (for example, www.newpage.contoso.com). Entering "Contoso" will either allow or limit all Contoso-related sites (including contoso.com, contoso.uk, and so forth).
