Content Advisor & security access

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Hi,

I have a number of PC's in my estate which run win2k with a standard 'user'
profile.
They run standalone so I am currently using contect advisor to control what
access they have to various web sites.
I want occasionally to be able to let them onto a site, so I dial in to them
and I currently have to change the user to an admin group, log off, log back
on, give access to the site....

and then

remove them from the admin group, and log back off and on again.

All this becuase 'users; group cannot add sites to content advisor. (it
doesnt save them when you exit)
I want to therefore setup another group which will allow them to do this.
Im presuming this can be done in MMC, but cant see how this is applied to
the new group.

Can anyone help....

I am not sure exactly how you are doing this but I suspect that a user who
can modify the content advisor settings needs the password for Content
Advisor and/or administrative rights if they are doing this via Local Group
Policy. I don't know of any workaround for such. Depending on the size of
your network you may be better of using an Active Directory domain so that
you can centralize the process for all users or use something like ISA 2004
server or a firewall that can do content management. Sonicwall and others
have firewall devices that can be used with a monthly subscription service
that for a reasonable rate can restrict the types of websites your users
access. ISA 2004 is very powerful but it is not cheap or the easiest to set
up and would require that the ISA 2004 server be the default gateway.
Microsoft however will let you try it free for 120 days. --- Steve

Thanks Stephen,

Although i think I may have may it sound a touch complicated.

In short, when setting up a new user group, how do you control what they can
& cant do ?
