The Roqos Core includes a suite of user access settings which can be used as Parental Controls.
You can create individual user profiles and assign specific devices. Using these profiles you can restrict access, block certain content, or even monitor internet usage if you choose to do so.
Create User Profiles
- Using the navigation pane on the left of the screen, select USERS.
- Select the ADD USER button at the top of the menu.
- Create a name to identify the user. You may also add a photo or picture to associate with this user however this is optional.
- Select the SAVE button at the bottom of the menu.
Assign Devices
- Once you have created a user, you must assign one or more devices to the user.
