Pausing Guardian

The Guardian Pause feature allows administrators and users (when enabled through the settings) to pause certain features and tools of Guardian temporarily. The settings of theĀ PauseĀ feature can be adjusted to only suspend certain aspects of Guardian so that other features can still be utilized.

Pausing Guardian may be helpful when loading in multiple families at once from a cleaned library. It can be quicker to pause Guardian's scanning and processing function rather than to create a rule in theĀ Approved Content SourcesĀ feature. Similarly, while performing a feature demo or training session, it may be better to suspend any Guardian Command Messages.

Enabling Pause

TheĀ PauseĀ button/menu can be found in the Guardian tab of the Add-Ins ribbon.

Toggling theĀ stop lightĀ button (A) will pause any of the Guardian features that are selected in the menu below (B).

Users can also be granted the ability to use theĀ PauseĀ feature. This can be enabled inĀ Company Settings.

Company Settings dialog

In theĀ settings cog, administrators can set aĀ Protection ModeĀ andĀ Command MessageĀ for end-users when they activate theĀ PauseĀ feature. When end-users enable the Pause feature, Guardian will automatically resume after 60 minutes.
