It doesn’t appear in the Orbi web interface.
It’s configured and controlled via the Orbi APP.
Note that when I enabled it on mine it caused constant Wi-Fi disconnects / reconnects requiring a factory reset to restore service.

Restricting sites and monitoring internet access is free, while setting access schedules for children and giving rewards requires premium subscription. This is how I understood the description here:
