Applies To: FireCloud Internet Access This topic applies to accounts with a FireCloud Internet Access license.

FireCloud is a beta product that is only available to participants in the WatchGuard FireCloud Beta program. To try FireCloud Internet Access, join the WatchGuard Beta test community.

To share the configuration settings for FireCloud security services and policies, Service Providers can add a FireCloud template. To apply the template settings to multiple accounts, you subscribe the accounts to the template.

For an overview of FireCloud templates, go to About FireCloud Templates.

Add a FireCloud Template

To add a FireCloud template, from WatchGuard Cloud:

1. Select Configure > Shared Configurations > FireCloud Templates.
   The FireCloud Templates page opens.

2. Click Add Template.
   The Add Template page opens.

3. In the Name text box, type a name to identify this template.
4. In the Description text box, type a description for this template.
   The description can be a general statement about the purpose of this template.
5. Click Save.
   The template is added, and the FireCloud template configuration settings page opens. The Configuration Details tab shows the FireCloud settings that you can configure in the template.

6. To configure security services and FireCloud settings in the template, in the Security Services, Policies, or Settings section, click a tile. The steps to configure FireCloud policies and services in a template are the same as the steps to configure them for your account.

   For information about how to configure security services, the default FireCloud policy, and settings, go to:

   • Content Scanning in FireCloud
   • Configure Network Blocking in FireCloud
   • Add Exceptions in FireCloud
   • Add Geolocation Actions in FireCloud
   • Content Filtering in FireCloud
   • FireCloud Access Rules

   The Apply to Subscribed Accounts check box on the template configuration pages is intended as a way to remove settings and configurations from a template. This is because there is no way to remove services that override settings in subscribed account, such as content scanning, from a template after you add them.

7. To return to the template configuration page, after you save each template setting, click Back.
   

8. To subscribe accounts to this template, select the Subscribed Accounts tab.
9. To automatically subscribe new accounts to this template, select the check box.

Changes to a template are applied to the subscribed accounts immediately after you make the change.
