Use Global 
Setting

Uses the action for this category in the Global Policy Group. 
This is the default action for user defined policy groups.

Applies to user defined policy groups only.

Note: When a custom URL category is excluded in the global 
Access Policy, then the default action for included custom 
URL categories in user defined Access Policies is Monitor 
instead of Use Global Settings. You cannot choose Use Global 
Settings when a custom URL category is excluded in the global 
Access Policy. 

Redirect

Redirects traffic originally destined for a URL in this category 
to a location you specify. When you choose this action, the 
Redirect To field appears. Enter a URL to which to redirect all 
traffic.

Allow 

Always allows client requests for web sites in this category. 

Allowed requests bypass all further filtering and malware 
scanning.

Only use this setting for trusted web sites. You might want to 
use this setting for internal sites. 

Monitor

The Web Proxy neither allows nor blocks the request. Instead, 
it continues to evaluate the client request against other policy 
group control settings, such as web reputation filtering.
