Allow specific Groups to Bypass Filtering

Updated
This article is for IT Support. 

If you don’t want to filter or report on a specific group of users, use Bypass Filtering to turn off all Linewize Connect functions while the user is signed in on a device. When a user outside of the specific group signs into the device, Linewize Connect resumes filtering and reporting.

  Note

Bypass Filtering works on Chromebook, Windows, macOS and iOS devices with Linewize Connect.

Before you begin

  1. Contact Linewize Support to turn this feature on.
  2. If you sync your school directory with Linewize Filter, create a group of users in your School Directory.
  3. If you don’t sync your school directory, create a group in Linewize Filter.

Configure Bypass Filtering

  Important

If your school uses a Linewize Filter Appliance and Linewize Connect, you must also configure BYPASS Filtering Groups in the On Linewize Filter Network section.

  1. Go to Configuration > Mobile Agent.
  2. Ensure the Off Linewize Filter Network > Filtering Enabled checkbox is selected.
  3. In the Off Linewize Filter Network section, go to the BYPASS Filtering Groups setting.
  4. Select the Search Groups field and enter at least three letters of the group’s name.
  5. Select the Group from the list.
  6. (Optional) Repeat steps 4 and 5 to add more groups.
  7. At the bottom of the page, select Save.
