User Management is a security feature which disallows any IP traffic (except DHCP-related
packets) from a particular host until that host has correctly supplied a valid username and
password. Instead of managing with IP address/MAC address, User Management function
manages hosts with user account. Network administrator can give different firewall policies or
rules for different hosts with different User Management accounts. This is more flexible and
convenient for network management. Not only offering the basic checking for Internet access,
User Management also provides additional firewall rules, e.g. CSM checking for protecting
hosts.
Note: Filter rules configured under Firewall usually are applied to the host (the one that
the router installed) only. With user management, the rules can be applied to every user
connected to the router with customized profiles.
Note: If Transparency Mode is selected in Firewall>>General Setup, User
Management cannot be used any more. Please uncheck Transparency Mode first if you
want to utilize user management to handle users in LAN, WAN or WLAN.
