Question:

How do I allow a user to bypass the filter, or give the user a less-restrictive filtering profile?

One option is to create an Override Account for the user. You can create Override Accounts under Global Group Profile as well as in IP Group profiles. A user with an Override Account can simply click the “options” link on the block page and log in with his or her username and password.

The user will then be under a special filtering profile that you defined for that Override Account. Please note that the R3000 will associate the override account with the IP address the user is using when he or she logs in. For this reason, Override Accounts may not be suitable in a proxy environment where many users are sharing a single IP address.

Another option would be to put the user in an IP Group, and define a special filtering profile for that group. Again, this would not be an ideal solution if the R3000 sees all the users coming in on a single IP address in a proxy environment.
