Ext-Group-User Accounts
Ext-Group-User accounts work are similar to ext-user accounts but allow you to
group users by the value of the group membership attribute configured for the AD
or LDAP server. See
membership attribute.
User Groups
User groups may consist of user accounts or other user groups. Use user groups
when you want to create the same rule for several user accounts, instead of
creating separate rules for each one.
Note: You cannot put access users and admin users in the same user group.
Note: You cannot put the default admin account into any user group.
The sequence of members in a user group is not important.
User Awareness
By default, users do not have to log into the Z yWALL to use the network services it
provides. The ZyWALL automatically routes packets for everyone. If you want to
restrict network services that certain users can use via the ZyWALL, you can
require them to log in to the ZyWALL first. The ZyWALL is then 'aware' of the user
who is logged in and you can create 'user-aware policies' that define what services
they can use. See
