After configuring the Activity Control rules in the ruleset, make sure that you select the checkbox corresponding to the service groups, service categories, and individual services. This applies a Block on the selected activities for the service groups, service categories and individual services.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Status of the Activity Control rule set is On.

The Activity Control rule set is applied to your web policy so that the selected user activities are blocked based on the service groups, service categories and individual services configured in your Activity Control rule set. 

Any changes to the policy tree, rule sets, or rules are saved automatically. You can either publish them to the cloud right away or continue working and publish them later. For details, see Applying Web Policy Changes Globally.

View updated Activity Control Ruleset

You can find the new or updated version of your Activity Control ruleset on the Web Policy Overview page under New/Updated Rulesets.
