Configure Privacy Settings
The privacy settings section for the SOTI Surf profile configuration allows you to dictate the browsing capabilities of your device users.
If you assign multiple profiles with differing SOTI Surf configurations to the same device, the most restrictive version of the setting applies. In general, settings in the Privacy section are more restrictive when they are enabled. Exceptions are noted.
| Disable Copy from Browser | When enabled, devices users are not able to copy content from within browser - both to other web pages and to apps outside of the browser.
Note: Enabling this option will also enable Disable Screen Capture when Browsing and Disable Sharing of Downloaded Files. Both options can be subsequently disabled without also disabling Disable Copy from Browser.
|
| Disable Downloading of Files | When enabled, device users cannot download any files from within the SOTI Surf app.
Note: Enabling this option will also enable the Disable Sharing of Downloaded Files setting though it can be deselected independently of Disable Downloading of Files.
|
| Disable Sharing of Downloaded Files | When enabled, device users cannot share any files they have downloaded with another person or another app. |
| Disable Printing | When enabled, devices users cannot print any content from within the browser.
Note: Disable Printing will not disable Cloud Printing on sites such Gmail, where printing options are available.
|
| Disable Cookies | When enabled, websites cannot store any cookies on SOTI Surf. |
| Clear Cookies on Launch | When enabled, cookies from previous browser sessions will be cleared when the browser is relaunched.
Note: Clear Cookies on Launch can be enabled independently of Disable Cookies
|
| Disable Website Cache | When enabled, the browser does not cache website data when the app closes or the user navigates away from a web page. |
| Disable Safe Search | When enabled, the safe search filter (that is normally active on SOTI Surf) to block inappropriate or explicit images and videos is turned off. Device users can access all web content - if it is not blocked by other web filtering settings. Disable safe search applies to search results only.
Note: Disable Safe Search is more restrictive when it is unchecked.
|
| Disable Access to Websites with invalid SSL certificate | When enabled, device users cannot access websites with SSL security certificate errors. |
| Open new tab in background | When enabled, when a device user clicks a link to open it in a new tab, the new tab will always open in the background.
Note: If multiple profiles are assigned to a device but have conflicting tab opening settings, the setting of the profile that was created first will apply.
