# Make a user unfiltered, but still track activity

#### Summary

There are some situations where you want certain users unfiltered, but still want to track what they do in the log. Most people will simply create a firewall rule for the workstation and remove the proxy settings, but this does not keep the ability to log traffic. This will show you the better way to do it.

#### More Information

The best solution is to make (or use) a separate filter sets for these unfiltered users (for example, SSB_Administrators) and place the users in this filter set.

Additionally, we strongly recommend that you do not make this filter set 100% unfiltered. To setup the Filter Set to be "mostly open",  go to "Content Filtering" -> "Weight Threshold" -> select your filter set.   Now, set the Weight Threshold to "0".   This turns off Content Filtering.   Next, go to "Website Filtering " -> "Website Access" -> select your filter set.   We recommend you uncheck all the lists except the following, to still provide you basic safe browsing protection:

- Safe Sites
- Hacking
- Phishing
- Pornography
- Proxy
- Virus Infected
- Warez

Once you modify the lists and put the user in the correct filter set, go to "Commit Changes" and restart.
