Filtering Rules:

1. The global (default) filtering profile applies to any user who does not belong to a master IP group.

2. If the minimum filtering level is defined, it applies to all master IP groups and members assigned filtering profiles. The minimum filtering level combines with the user’s profile to guarantee that categories blocked in the minimum filtering level are blocked in the user’s profile.

3. For master IP group members:

a) A master IP group filtering profile takes precedence over the global profile.
b) A master IP group time profile takes precedence over the master IP group profile.

4. For IP sub-group members:

a) An IP sub-group filtering profile takes precedence over the master IP group’s time profile.
b) An IP sub-group time profile takes precedence over the IP sub-group profile.

5. For individual IP members:

a) An individual IP member filtering profile takes precedence over the IP sub-group’s time profile.
b) An individual IP member time profile takes precedence over the individual IP member profile.

6. An authentication (NT/LDAP) profile takes precedence over an individual IP member’s time profile, but an NT/LDAP time profile takes precedence over an NT/LDAP profile.

If an individual is a member of an LDAP container, that profile takes precedence over the LDAP group authentication profile, but does not take precedence over the individual's LDAP authentication profile. An individual's LDAP time profile would take precedence over the individual's LDAP authentication profile.

7. An override account profile takes precedence over an authentication profile. This account may override the minimum filtering level—if the override account was set up in the master IP group tree, and the global administrator allows override accounts to bypass the minimum filtering level, or if the override account was set up in the global group tree.

8. A lock profile takes precedence over all filtering profiles. This profile is set up under Filter Options, by enabling the X Strikes Blocking feature.
