Allowing after hours access to Web sites

You can configure Symantec Web Gateway to allow users to access categories of Web sites outside of normal working hours. For example, you can block access to entertainment Web sites during working hours but allow access after working hours. You specify non-working days and the times for after hours access. To allow after hours access, you must have the URL filtering license. The after hours setting applies to URL filtering only.

See Configuring URL filtering policies for Web sites.
