SchoolProtect Structure

SchoolProtect has a hierarchy system. When visiting a website the system will perform a check on the policy being used to see whether the website should be allowed or denied. There are a number of different ways websites are allowed or denied. These are:

System List - the global allow/deny list
Local List - the allow/deny list for the establishment
Bundles - containers of URLs & keywords that can be created by your establishment, a group you are part of or at the system level.
Categories of websites.

The below shows how the above works with the example of Facebook and YouTube.

In this example, when a request is made, you can see that:

In Example 1, Facebook would be allowed as it's been allowed in a bundle. YouTube is denied by the Category 'Social Networking'.
In Example 2, Facebook would be allowed as it's been allowed in the local list. YouTube is denied by the Category 'Social Networking'
In Example 3, Facebook would be denied as that's been set in the system list, which has priority over the local List allow. YouTube is denied by the Category 'Social Networking'
