Turn on **Uncategorized** in a filtering policy to block websites and web requests that are not in the GoGuardian categorization database. This setting can help block newly created or less-visited sites, but it can also block legitimate sites, sign-in pages, and page resources until they are categorized or explicitly allowed. ## Review Permission Requirements Your GoGuardian Admin role must have **View/Edit** access for both **Block Uncategorized** and **Custom Policies**. A Super User can configure these permissions in [Org Management](https://manage.goguardian.com/roles) by selecting **Manage Roles** and editing the applicable GoGuardian Admin role.

If your role does not have the required permissions, the policy displays **No Access** for Block Uncategorized. Contact a Super User to update your role.

For steps, see [Allow and Block Websites](/products/admin/block-and-allow-websites#add-a-website-url-rule). You can also submit a categorization update request if a website is uncategorized or assigned to the wrong category. A submitted request does not immediately change filtering, so add an allow rule when users need access right away. See [Review Website Categories](/products/admin/website-categories#suggest-a-website-category). ## Understand GoGuardian DNS Behavior Policies assigned to organizational units filter top-level domains and can also filter embedded content when **Filter Embedded Content** is on. GoGuardian DNS evaluates traffic across configured networks, including top-level domains, content delivery network requests, and page resources. When **Uncategorized** is on for a GoGuardian DNS policy, any uncategorized web request can be blocked. A page may not load completely if one of its required resources is uncategorized. Add an allowed **Website URL** rule for a legitimate resource that needs an exception. For more information about network-level filtering, see [Understand GoGuardian DNS](/products/dns/understand-goguardian-dns). ## Resources Review available categories and submit category feedback. Add a Website URL allow rule for a blocked site or resource. Create and assign a role with the required permissions. Review how GoGuardian DNS applies network-level filtering.
