Creating And Removing Users And Groups; Creating A New User Or Group - Nortel BayStack Instant Internet 100-S Using Manual

For example, you may assign the IP addresses: 192.0.0.130, 192.0.0.131, and
192.0.0.132 to guest workstations. Using the IP address 102.0.0.* (* is the
wildcard character) for your wildcard users will allow you to control these
accesses as a group. Only users identified in Admin by an IP address that falls in
that range are affected by the access controls you place on this wildcard user. All
other users are affected by either the Default User's access controls or other access
controls you may have set for them, even if their IP address falls in the range of
the wildcard user.

Creating and removing users and groups

Instant Internet provides the ability to create and maintain users and groups within
Instant Internet that are distinct and separate from your network. This option is
helpful if you want to add users or remove users on the basis of Internet access but
do not want to make changes to the existing network directory service. When you
use Instant Internet to set up and maintain the Internet access settings for these
users, they do not appear in your network directory services.

Creating a new user or group

Instant Internet provides two methods for adding new users and groups:
• Using a template. The new user or group inherits all template attributes. This
feature is useful when you add multiple users or groups that require the same
Internet access.
• Creating each user or group individually. You must create and configure each
new user or group individually.
Instant Internet provides a default user facility, specifying attributes that it uses for
individual users. If you add a user and do not set specific Internet access settings,
that user is considered a default user.
