Example

Rule#1

I want to bypass image filtering for my marketing team users.

Marketing team uses social media for digital marketing, I want to bypass image filtering only for my marketing team users.

However general rule will be applied to marketing team where all adult and blacklisted websites will be blocked.

Using the profile "Bypass image filtering" I can create an access policy which will bypass image filter for Marketing Team.

Rule#2

I want enhanced image scanning for connections with profile “ENFORCE PARANOID IMAGE SCAN’

Threshold for image scanning is set to -1.0, which will block images where the skin exposure is even slightest compared with the score 0.0

Rule#3

I want the connections with profile “IMAGE ANALYZER DEBUG” to render the score for each image it scans but it should not blur the images.

This can be helped to understand how Image scanning works.
