In the current setup a site in the allow list is completely ignored by Umbrella.  I would to keep the security filters on any site, even if it is in the allow list. 

This creates a security risk. At some point in the future any site in the allow list can be compromised and we have no protection.

Please provide the option to retain security filters on Allow List settings..

  Here's an example - Craigslist is now in the Adult Themes category.  I don't want to whitelist the site, I don't want to remove the adult themes category, but I would like to allow access to craigslist.com, as long as there is no security issue detected.

  ...and now vote your own idea up.  Every vote counts!  Didn't know?

  "I don't want to whitelist the site, I don't want to remove the adult themes category, but I would like to allow access to craigslist.com"

  This is a contradiction.  You have to whitelist the domain, else you cannot access it.

  This is the purpose of whitelists -- to make exceptions to categories we want to keep.  The only solutions are (1) ask that Craigslist be removed from the category, or (2) whitelist it.  Craigslist probably belongs in the "adult themes" category because of the classified ads.
