WebTitan policies are managed directly in the WebTitan Control Panel.  To access the WebTitan Control Panel and customize the account's default policy, use the following steps:


  1. Log into the WebTitan Control Panel at https://cloudplusservice.webtitancloud.com:8443/login.php using the Administrative login created when the service was enabled.

  2. Once logged in, click on the Policies tab.

  3. Click on the Edit button for the Default policy.

The Edit Policy page has the following parameters that can be customized:
