35.1 Overview

This chapter describes how to set up user accounts, user groups, and user settings for the
ZyWALL. You can also set up rules that control when users have to log in to the ZyWALL
before the ZyWALL routes traffic for them.

35.1.1 What You Can Do Using The User/Group Screens

• The User screen (see

Section 35.2 on page 595

) provides a summary of all user accounts.

• The Group screen (see

Section 35.3 on page 598

) provides a summary of all user groups.

In addition, this screen allows you to add, edit, and remove user groups. User groups may
consist of access users and other user groups. You cannot put admin users in user groups

• The Setting screen (see
