manage user access using different group policies. From the User and Group
Authentication menu, you can create, modify, and delete users, and assign them
to groups that you designate.

If you have a Windows Active Directory Server (ADS) or Windows NT server to
handle the domain security in your network, you can simply enable the ADS/NT

all the information of the domain users and groups automatically. From the
Accounts menu, choose Authentication item and the ADS/NT Support screen
appears. You can to change any of these items and press Apply to confirm your
