Local User Group Configuration

A local user is an Auth, IKE, L2TP, or XAuth user created on the device. By defining a local user group, you can create one policy for the user group and that policy automatically applies to all group members, therefore sparing you from creating multiple policies.

An Auth user can be a member of up to four user groups on the local database. An Auth user who belongs to more than one group is required to supply a username and password only once, before being granted access to the resources defined for each group in which the user is a member.

Before you can add members to a group, you must first create them. For more information on creating users, see Local User Configuration.

To Create a Local User Group

  1. Enter a Group Name for the user group.

  1. Proceed to select and move group members from the list of local users.

Group members are located in the "Available Members" field.

To move each selection from the Available Members field to the Group Members field, click the << button between frames. You can remove group members by clicking the >> button.

  1. Click OK to save your changes.

Note: A user can only be part of one group.
