Allow Specific Page on Facebook

Overview

Facebook is a social networking website that allows users to interact with other users in a multimedia environment on the Web. Facebook users can install and use applications to enhance their experience. Many organizations want to block Facebook access, but they also want to allow specific page access to it.

Home users and IT managers using SafeSquid SWG Edition can allow particular company pages on Facebook.

SafeSquid allows you to give access to a particular company page on Facebook to your social media group, partial access to a customer service group, and read-only access to other groups. Access to Facebook can also be assigned by time of day, so permissions could be relaxed during lunch or after business hours.

Understand the possibilities

In the given example you should get only access to the SafeSquid page on Facebook. When you access other pages except the SafeSquid page you should get a block template.

In the same way, you can create a policy to allow a specific page (only your company) page on Facebook.

Prerequisites

HTTPS Inspection should be enabled in SafeSquid. If not enabled, you can check our document - How to enable HTTPS Inspection.
