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.

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
) 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).
