Chapter 15 User Accounts and Groups

15.5 User groups

User accounts can be sorted into groups. Creating user groups provides the following beneﬁts:

• Speciﬁc access rights can be assigned to a group of users. These rights complement

rights of individual users.

• Each group can be used when traﬃc and access rules are deﬁned. This simpliﬁes the

deﬁnition process so that you will not need to deﬁne the same rule for each user.

User groups Deﬁnitions

User groups can be deﬁned in User and Groups → Groups.

Figure 15.16 WinRoute user groups

Domain

Use the Domain option to select a domain for which user accounts or other parameters

will be deﬁned. This item provides a list of mapped Active Directory domains (see chap-

ter 15.4) and the local user database.

In WinRoute, it is possible to create groups only in the local user database. It is not

possible to create groups in mapped Active Directory domains. It also not possible to

import groups from the Windows NT domain or from Active Directory.

In case of groups mapped in Active Directory domains, it is possible to set only access

rules (see below — step 3 of the user group deﬁnition wizard).

The Search engine can be used to ﬁlter out user groups meeting speciﬁed criteria.

The searching is interactive — each symbol typed or deleted deﬁnes the string which is

evaluated immediately and all groups including the string in either Name or Description

are viewed. The icon next to the entry can be clicked to clear the ﬁltering string and

display all groups in the selected domain (if the Search entry is blank, the icon is hidden).
