Viewing Vendor Controlled Information
You cannot change the settings under Vendor Controlled Information. The service provider entered these settings during the initial setup of your account. If the terms of agreement change, the provider updates your account as appropriate. An exception is the Logging option. If your system is set to 'Full Logging,' you can change the Logging option to 'Site' at the Groups level.
To view the vendor-controlled information, select the Accounts tab. The provider-entered settings are shown on the right, under 'Vendor Controlled Information.'
The following table describes the vendor-controlled settings.
| Vendor Controlled Information Settings |
Description |
| Licenses |
The number of licenses as described in the agreement between the account and the service provider. Service providers enter this value and can edit it later if the terms of the agreement change. |
| Account Type |
The service provider selects one of these types:
- Trial. This is a full, trial account that is not yet purchased.
- Customer. The Web Security Service is purchased.
- Demo/Test. This is a demo version.
|
| Status |
An Active status means web filtering policies are being applied. |
| Logging |
The service provider sets the logging type for the account according to provisioning terms.
- Site Logging (the default). Only URLs that are logged are the URLs typed in the users' browsers, or those that the user clicks on an HTML page or email, specifically pages of http, text, or MIME text and SSL types. Site Logging data is a subset of Full Logging data.
- Full Logging. Every URL that passes through the Web Security Service is logged, including links within an initial page that are called to render the web page completely. Logs of this type have extremely large data sets. If your account is set to Full Logging, you can change it to 'Site' at the Groups level. However, if your account is set to 'Site', you cannot change groups to 'Full'. See Managing Logs for details on logs.
