The Default Group

The Netsweeper filtering system requires a default Group in the WebAdmin. Therefore, each Netsweeper deployment comes with a default Group. Best practice is to configure the default Group before adding Clients to the WebAdmin or creating any other Groups.

Simple Groups

The Simple Group option lets you quickly create a Group. The Simple Group window shows no visible Policies and therefore no Policy Event Calendar. You can choose a filtering profile, add Allow, Deny, and Shared Lists, set Browse Mode, and manage Clients and Quick Reports.
