If you want a user to have to use a proxy server when connecting to the internet, edit their user account and give them the Web permission.

The Web special permission only works if you have configured SimpleCloud to connect with a proxy server. If you do not have the connection in place, the permission has no effect.

For instructions on setting up a proxy server for SimpleCloud connections, please contact customer support.
