Users/Groups allowed to bypass blocking

joepvg
Hi,

I have a sophos virtual sophos utm 9. It's joined the domain. I have set up a authentication server and single sign on.
I'm using web protection in standard mode with active directory sso.
Now when i use the Users/Groups allowed to bypass blocking for the group 'domain admins' to bypass any category filtering, it doens't work.

When a domain admin try to access a forbidden category I would assume because it's allowed to bypass he could still reach a certain website

    I believe the site will still be blocked, but a button should appear in the blocked message for bypassing the block.

    Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.

    The only button I see is, 'Unblock URL (will be logged) and then I have to login and provide a reason. Is this what you mean?

    So I have created a Exception, to skip url filtering for the domain admins. This works as well.
    But I still expected the bypass blocking feature to do the same.

    Hi joepvg,

    I think that the behaviour that you are reporting it´s the expected one. From the UTM user manual:


    "Users/Groups allowed to bypass blocking: If you want to give certain users or
    groups the permission to access pages which are blocked by default, add them to this
    drag-and-drop box. Subsequently, blocked pages will contain a button called Unblock URL."
