About Users, Groups, and Domains
Users can be individual users or can be part of a group, and a group is generally part of a
domain. Normally, you first create a domain, then you create a group that you assign to a
domain, and then you create users that you assign to a group. The STM does not let you
create domains; the local groups that you define are automatically assigned to the STM's
prosecuredomain default domain. However, you can use existing LDAP and RADIUS
domains on the STM.
The main purpose for using groups and domains is to apply exceptions (that is, adding or
removing restrictions) for Web browsing, URL access, and application access (see
Access Exception Rules for Web Access
