Zscaler Guide – ACT Colleges
Scope This guide is designed to give step-by-step instructions to manage content filtering using the Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) portal. This guide outlines the procedures for blocking access to unwanted websites, as well as unblocking legitimate online resources that are essential for teaching and learning purposes. What to do if I want to allow a website Step 1: Identify the URL category When you attempt to access a blocked site, a pop-up will display the category under which the site is blocked. If the category is visible here, go to Step 3. If you cannot identify the category, proceed to Step 2. Step 2: Use URL lookup tool Go to the ZIA portal, click on the "?" icon at the bottom and select URL Lookup to determine the site's current classification. Step 3: Check if the blocked site falls under primary security policies Determine whether the site is classified under a policy block rule such as Diocese Security Block or Diocese Block. If it is, proceed to Step 6. If it is not blocked by those policies, continue with Steps 4 and 5. To verify: Go to Policy > URL & Cloud App Control. As an example, locate the rule named Diocese Security Block. Under Criteria, check the URL Categories. Step 4: Add the URL to the custom college URL category Navigate to: Administration > URL Categories. Choose the appropriate custom category (e.g., XXXX staff allow). Under the Custom URLs section, add the URL and click Add items. Follow the URL whitelisting guidelines for proper formatting here. Click Save. Step 5: Activate changes Go to Activation > Activate to apply your configuration updates. Step 6: Raise a Service Request for cyber security team If the site is blocked by a diocese block policy or adding the URL to your allow list did not resolve the issue, then please submit a service request to the cyber security team using the latest form for block/unblock website requests. Please include as much details as possible including: Business case for the request Screenshot of the blocked website Urgency of the request The cyber team will review and action your request based on the details provided in the ticket. Step 7: Test and confirm access After making changes or submitting a request: Test the website to confirm that it is now accessible. If you continue to experience issues or have questions, contact: cyber.security@cg.catholic.edu.au What to do if I want to block a website Step 1: Add to block list Add the website to the block policy , e.g. “XXXX staff block” (follow the URL formatting guidelines here).

Manuka Meeting Room Bookings - Best Practice
When booking meetings in the SCPC rooms, it is encouraged to assess whether the meeting should be made private. Making the meeting private will ensure that only invitees will be able to see the full details, including the names of other attendees and meeting subject matter. How it looks in New Outlook: On the initial meeting creation panel, the Private option can be selected from the ribbon. You will know it is active as the lock icon will close. In Classic Outlook, private mode is also represented by a Lock icon in the ribbon: And when it is active, it will show as highlighted in grey. This process will be at the discretion of the staff member creating the meeting and will ensure sensitive information is not accessible to all Manuka staff at a glance.
