Usage Policy

Configuring the Usage Policy for all users

Overview

The usage policy (also known as Privacy Policy) dictates what is deemed to be appropriate internet browsing behavior in the workplace. This policy typically enforces time restrictions for employees when browsing the internet for non-work related tasks as well as stipulating what genres of sites they are allowed to browse. Having a usage policy, which can also be referred to as an acceptable use policy (AUP), ensures that employees are following directives that serve to safeguard their work environment and the IT network infrastructure.

The privacy policy will cover all users who have access to the domain and will appear when users login for the first time on the web client. Network admins can enable the "Acceptance Required" property to ensure that the user provides their acceptance to the content on this page before proceeding ahead.
