Adding a User	You can define a user group and control that group’s access to the load
Group	balanced services. For each request to a service, the Server Load Balancer
	determines which user group the client IP address is part of. It then allows
	or denies access to the service based on the permissions that were set for
	this user group.
	The Server Load Balancer has a default user group that is defined as
	0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. This user group includes every possible IP
