Allowing and Restricting Websites

You can use Jamf Parent to choose which websites your child can access on their school-issued device by configuring an allowed websites list or a blocked websites list.

Allowed websites —The child's device can access only the listed websites.
Blocked websites —The child's device can access all websites except for the listed websites.

Requirements

Ensure that Safari is configured as an allowed app. For more information about configuring allowed apps, see Allowing Apps.

Tap the parent and child button in the upper-left corner and tap the avatar of the child's device you want to apply website restrictions to.
Under Websites, tap Allow to create an allowed websites list or tap Block to create a blocked websites list.
Next to Websites, tap the + button.
Note:
If you have not previously added any websites to allow or block, you can also tap Add first website to allow or Add first website to block.
Tap + Add website and enter the URL of the website you want to either allow or block, depending on your selection in step 2, then tap Return to add it to the list.
Best Practice:
Some websites may automatically redirect users to a URL that is different from the one originally entered. For example, if a child enters www.bbc.co.uk, they may be automatically redirected to www.bbc.com. To ensure the child can access the intended website or that the intended website is blocked, add both the original website URL and the redirect website URL to the list.
Repeat step 4 as needed to add more websites to the list.
Tap Apply in the upper-right corner.

The specified list of allowed or blocked websites is applied to the child's device. If a child's device is offline, the settings will be applied the next time the device is online.

To remove a website from the allowed or blocked website list, tap the – button next to the website you want to remove or tap Clear all to remove all applied allowed or blocked websites at once.
