Advanced:Profiles
ProfilesEvery Cyber Patrol user logs in using a profile name. A profile can be a single user, or it can include a group of users with similar filtering needs. You can have up to ten profiles. After you add a new profile, you assign it filter settings. A user logged into Cyber Patrol using a particular profile name is then filtered according to the settings for that profile. Each profile can also be assigned a password, which will be required when logging in. Cyber Patrol initially contains one profile, named Default, which has been assigned basic filter settings. To view these settings, go to Setup:Summary.
Filter settings for profilesYou decide filter settings for each profile in the Setup areas, as described below:
PasswordsWhen you add a new profile, you can also assign it a password, which will be required when logging in. The only profile that does not have a password assigned is the startup profile. If you add a profile and assign it a password, then change the startup to be that profile, the password is no longer required.

Startup profileOne Cyber Patrol profile must always be designated as the startup profile. In Advanced:Profiles, the startup profile is indicated by a checkmark in the Startup column. The profile that came with Cyber Patrol ( Default) is initially designated as the startup. You can change this profile's name and filter settings, if you choose. You can also add another profile and designate it to be the startup. There are several times when the startup profile becomes active:
Note: It is recommended that, because the startup profile is the most easily accessed, filter settings assigned to it be more restrictive than those for other profiles.

Idle Timeout PeriodIf a user logs into Cyber Patrol, but does not access the Internet for a specified length of time, Cyber Patrol changes the logged-in profile to the Startup profile. You can specify how long Cyber Patrol waits before changing the profile.
