The Workspace ONE Web settings page lets you configure settings related to the VMware Workspace ONE Web app.

What can you do with the Workspace ONE Web settings page?

With theWorkspace ONE Web settings page, you can:
  • Define the settings and policies used by the WEB application.
  • Enable the general settings for the WEB application.

Determine your Organization group hierarchy

Before you review and modify the settings, understand the two types of inheritance/override options for the organization group hierarchy available at the top and bottom of the settings page and determine your choice. For more information about these settings, see Override Versus Inherit Setting for Organization Groups.
  • Current Setting - Select whether to Inherit or Override the displayed settings. Inherit means use the settings of the current organization group's parent OG, while Override enables the settings for editing so you can modify the current OG's settings directly.
  • Child Permission - Select the available behavior of child organization groups that exist below the currently selected organization group. Inherit only means child OGs are only allowed to inherit these settings. Override only means they override the settings, and Inherit or Override means you can choose to inherit or override settings in child OGs that exist below the currently selected OG.

Selection Mode

Allow to limit browsing to domains white listed in the Allowed Site URLs field.

Deny to allow browsing to all sites except those listed in the Denied Site URLs field.
Allowed/Denied Site URLs

Use the following recommendations to allow and deny domains.

  • Define domain names without including full URLs. The Workspace ONE Web filters by domain only, not by folder or page level.
  • Separate domains with a space, comma, or a new line.
  • Define wildcards as part of the domains; listing items from most general to specific. Example: *google.com is more general than http://yahoo.com.

    Entering *.google.com whitelists <text>.google.com, but it does not allow access to http://google.com.

  • Leave out the scheme (http:// or https://) to test the domain for both schemes. Include the scheme to limit testing to the specified scheme.
  • You can enter Port value separately. Restricted URL can contain the complete path, for example, http:// google.com:9191.
Allow IP Browsing

Select to allow IP addresses for browsing.

A user can navigate to a allow listed IP address even if the actual domain for the IP address was included in the Denied Site URL listing.
Allowed IP Addresses

Add IP addresses using the following recommendations:

  • Enter values in IPv4 formatting with four octets each separated by a period.
  • Enter wildcards to allow octets. Adding an entry that includes a * in each octet allows browsing to any IP address.
Table 4. Terms of Use
Setting Description
