Creating A New Computer
To add a computer to the system, you will need to use a tool such as the “Active Directory Users and Computers” administration tool. You cannot add computers through 3Com Network Access Manager. Follow the instructions given in the user documentation shipped with Microsoft Active Directory.
Selecting Appropriate The rules that a Network Operator can apply, can be individually selected Permissions For An for the operator. For example, one operator may be restricted to blocking
Operator access for specific users, whereas another operator may be allowed to move users between arbitrary groups.
Selecting the rules that an operator can apply, is achieved through the securities permission of the rule, see step 7 of “Creating A New Rule”on page 47. By selecting the name of the operator from the Group or User name list and ticking the Allow box for both read and write, enables the network operator to apply the rule. Not ticking the Allow box for read and write permission will prevent the network operator from applying the rule.
By using the permissions model, network administrators can decide who is permitted to apply rules to users, groups and computers to control network access. In some organizations it may not be appropriate to let operators have this responsibility.
Security permissions on a rule do not affect the security permissions on individual users. If a network operator does not have security permission for particular individuals or groups, for example directors of a company, then the operator will not be able to apply a rule to that user or group.
