Hello all-
I'm fairly familiar with on-premise websense policies but am doing some new setup with the cloud product. I have seen several pieces of advice suggesting that in the cloud setup while it is possible to make multiple policies and assign different policies to different users / groups, as might be done with the old on premise websense setup, that this is actually not recommended. The recommendations I have seen are along lines of one in the forums earlier:
Websense Cloud is a little different. You will probably only have on policy then create "exceptions" to that Policy.IE. Rule one says "Nobody gets Facebook". Rule one exception says "Unless you're in the Marketing group, then you get Facebook". This is a little hard to explain. You might want to ask Websense for a demo for this.
Can anyone shed some light on _why_ this is a better way to do it in cloud - is there a specific benefit to having a single policy with user specific exceptions versus multiple policies assigned to users / groups as used to be done with web filter on premise?
Many thanks for any insight
Dan
