To configure IM Control for a specific user account:

user account.
2. Click the Messaging tab.
3. Use the switch to turn on Instant Messaging Control.
4. Select the preferred filtering method and, depending on your choice, create
appropriate rules.
● Allow IM with all contacts, except the ones in the list
In this case, you must specify the IM IDs to be blocked (people who your child
should not talk to).
● Block IM with all contacts, except the ones in the list
In this case, you must specify the IM IDs your child is explicitly allowed to
instant message with. For example, you can allow instant messaging with
family members, friends from school or neighbours.
This second option is recommended if your child is under 14 years old.
