Blocking Presence of the C-Level Team

In case your management team would like to block their presence, you can create two policies:

• a higher priority (lower sequence number) policy that explicitly allows presence withing the C-Level team

• a lower priority (higher sequence number) policy that blocks their presence to the rest of the world

In this case, you can define the C-Level team either by naming the individual users (as below) or by creating a Group and referring to that Group.

Blocking video conferencing to avoid bandwidth problems

If you would like to stop your users from video conferencing (thus using a lot of bandwidth) during peak hour in your network, you can create a policy, which blocks video conversations. Such blocking might be useful in case of e.g. extreme weather when a majority of your users stay at home and might overload your VPN solution.
