Chapter 5. Group Attributes & Policy Rules
All 4ipnet WHG Controller models utilize 'Group' and 'Policy' to define user
accessibility and network privileges in order to set constraints on users' behavior.
Since grouping, policy setting, and service zones are intertwined with one another,
this section will proceed to clarify the concepts of grouping, policy, and their
relationship with the Service Zone, followed by practical setup processes on these
three attributes.

Overview of the Concept

Group

A Group is a set of users that admin considers they share some extent of similar
characteristics, i.e. role based. For example, in a university, there are students, the
faculty staff, and guests, in general. Therefore an IT staff may set up three Groups
that distinguish these three categories of Internet service users apart by giving
these Group different permissions of Internet accessibility. In the 4ipnet WHG
models, there are eight to twenty-four Group profiles, depending on the model
capacity.
On-Demand users, Local users, may be assigned to different Groups per
WHG Controller / HSG Gateway
