Chapter 2 User access administration 63
Using the BayStack Instant Internet Management Software Version 7.11
You can redefine a group’s or user’s access control list from the Internet Access
dialog box. You can add, delete, or change IP addresses, host names, and port
numbers to which the specified group or user has access.
If a user or group access is set to “Full” (refer to “Configuring Internet access” on
page 58 ), that user has access to everything on the Internet. However, if you add
one restriction to the Internet access list, the user has no Internet access at all.
Therefore, if you want to restrict access to only a few sites, you must first allow
access to everything. You can allow access to all IP addresses, ports, and host
names, and then disallow access one by one, as desired. Or, you can disallow
access to all IP addresses, ports, host names, and then allow access one by one,
as desired.
The reverse is true if you have the user or group access set to “Controlled.” In this
case, the user has no Internet access, and you must specifically allow Internet
access to IP addresses, ports, and host names.
When you make changes to Internet Access, an asterisk (*) appears to the left of
the option, indicating that specific Internet access control settings have been
defined.
