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).

Search

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).

The searching is helpful especially when the domain includes too many groups which

might make it difficult to look up particular items.

Creating a new local user group

In the Domain combo box in Groups, select Local User Database.

Click Add to start a wizard where a new user group can be created.

Step 1 — Name and description of the group
