User Management
The User Management tab on the UserFilter Database dialog box enables you to add Groups and
Users to the UserFilter Database. Once the User Database is enabled (checked) on the Filter tab,
both the User Management and Access Rights tabs become active and can be viewed and used.
Groups are defined as administrative units comprised of one or more users with similar needs for
network resources. Once users are placed in groups, resource access can be managed on a group
basis rather than an individual basis. (For example, it is much easier to manage five groups of 20
each than 100 individual users.) Groups (or Workgroups) are assigned names for organizational
purposes and convenience, and the group names are often descriptive, such as ENGINEERING,
ACCOUNTING, or SALES.
Click the lower Add button to begin building your database of Groups; this will display the Groups
(Add) dialog box, where you can assign the Group Name, Group Description, and User Permission.
