Abstract
A method includes detecting, by an electronic device managing a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) chips, an attempt to modify a whitelist that includes multiple entries of URLs and user IDs and determining whether the attempt is associated with modifying an existing entry, removing the existing entry, or adding a new entry of a URL or a user ID to the whitelist. When the attempt is associated with removing an existing entry corresponding to a particular URL or user ID, the method includes further determining whether the particular URL or user ID is being actively used by IC chip(s). When the attempt to modify or remove the existing entry or add a new entry of a URL or user ID to the whitelist is approved, a notification is transmitted to an electronic communication channel associated with a root administrator and pool managing administrators that manage one or more pool servers.
