Child Protection for Computers and User Accounts

You can also assign access profiles to Windows user accounts.
If there are three user accounts on a computer, for instance, you can use four different access profiles: one for te computer and one for each of the user accounts.

When child protection is enabled, the settings for computers and user accounts interact in the following way:

  • If child protection is configured for a user account, this child protection setting will always be applied to that user account.
  • If no child protection setting is configured for a user account, then the child protection setting configured for the computer will be applied to that user account.
  • If parental controls are configured neither for a user account nor for the computer, either the setting "Computers for which no access rules are enabled: have unrestricted Internet access" or the setting "Computers for which no access rules are enabled: do no have Internet access" is applied.
    If you selected the setting "Computers for which no access rules are enabled: have unrestricted Internet access", then the computer has unrestricted access to the Internet.
    If you selected the setting "Computers for which no access rules are enabled: do not have Internet access", then the Internet cannot be accessed at all from this computer.
  • User accounts that are not recognized by the FRITZ!Box are treated as user accounts without any child protection configured.

Example

  1. You have a computer with the user accounts A and B.
  2. You have configured child protection for the computer and enabled this feature.
  3. You also have configured an individual child protection setting for user account A and enabled this feature.
  4. No individual child protection setting was configured for user account B.
  5. You have a second computer with the user accounts C and D.
  6. No child protection settings have been configured for the second computer and the user accounts C and D.
  7. You enabled the setting "Computers for which no access rules are enabled: have unrestricted Internet access".

The child protection settings will now have the following effect:

  • For user account A, the child protection configured for this account always applies. The child protection configured for the computer has no effect on user account A.
  • For user account B, the child protection configured for the computer applies, as in the FRITZ!Box no individual child protection was configured for user account B.
  • For the user accounts C and D on the second computer, the setting made in the "Child Protection" menu applies:
    • "Computers for which no access rules are enabled: have unrestricted Internet access"
    or
    "Computers for which no access rules are enabled: do not have Internet access"
