User/Group
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.
26.1 User Account Overview
A user account defines the privileges of a user logged into the ZyWALL. User accounts are used in firewall rules and application patrol, in addition to controlling access to configuration and services in the ZyWALL.
