Profiles
What are Profiles?
Profiles allow you to easily deploy policy through Policies and manage extensions for groups of employees. A profile configures how an employee’s browser behaves. Patterns, integrations, actions, and any other sort of behavior applied to a group of users gets applied through at least one profile.
There are no prerequisites for Profiles and they can be set up before deploying Keep Aware. Simply access the Profiles page from the console menu. Within a specific profile, you will have various configurations, including which Groups the profile applies to, which Patterns to apply, Extensions to block or allow, as well as the browser homepage and new tab behavior through a workspace.
To get started with Profiles, view one of the guides below.
Configuring a Profile
Patterns, workspace, and extension preferences can be deployed to a group of employees through a Profile. An IT Security team will often create a single profile for "Everyone" in the organization and then layer additional profiles for specific groups of employees that require additional policy or configurations.
Managing Extensions
Profiles have the ability the ability to block or allow employees from using certain browser extensions, or even blocking the use of all extensions.
Managing Content Policy
Profiles can apply rules to allow, pause, or restrict access to web content categories. Content policy can be set directly in the Content Policy tab in a Profile or can be further customized through a Pattern. Profiles can apply Content Policy to specific users, browsers and devices, or globally across the whole organization.
Creating a Workspace
Workspaces are configured from the Profile page and each Profile is allowed a single Workspace. The Workspace will be applied to all the User Groups that are added to the Profile, Browser Groups and Device Groups are currently not supported with Workspaces.
What is a Workspace
Workspaces allow you to customize your browser experience by overriding the default homepage and new tab page. They also let you set shortcuts to your most frequently used web applications, streamlining your workflow, enhancing productivity and security.
