User access administration

This chapter introduces Instant Internet's Administration (Admin) program and
provides instructions on how to use Admin to set Internet access rights for users
and groups.

Administration program overview

Admin is the utility you use to establish and set Internet access rights for users and
groups within Instant Internet. Access rights control the times and days that users
have access to the Internet and to specific sites, including news groups, incoming
ports, and RAW sockets.
When you install Instant Internet, all network users are automatically set up to use
the default Instant Internet user profile, giving them full Internet access. If this
suits your environment, you do not need to further configure Instant Internet.
However, if you want some users to have restricted access to the Internet, or, if
you want to log the activity of a particular user, you can configure group and user
access to Internet resources.
You can create users in two ways:
•
•
Adopt your users and groups from your network directory services. For
details, refer to "Managing directory service users and groups" on page
Create new users and groups for Instant Internet. For details, refer to
"Creating and removing users and groups" on page
