Knowledge Base - Allow/Block List Site Enhancements

Overview:

Platform configuration provides various settings to help control user site access. Blocking undesired sites allows for better network management, account safety and user productivity.

Detail:

Allow/Block list settings provide various setup options ranging from unique addresses, wildcard values or predefined category inputs.

Applying sites to the Allows list helps alleviate roadblocks due to Block list settings.
