CHAPTER 50
User/Group
This chapter describes how to set up user accounts, user groups, and user settings for the Zyxel Device.
You can also set up rules that control when users have to log in to the Zyxel Device before the Zyxel
Device routes traffic for them.
50.1 User Account Overview
A user account defines the privileges of a user logged into the Zyxel Device. User accounts are used in
firewall rules and application patrol, in addition to controlling access to configuration and services in the
Zyxel Device.
50.1.1 User Types
There are the types of user accounts the Zyxel Device uses.
Note: The default admin account is always authenticated locally, regardless of the
authentication method setting. (See Chapter 56 on page 480 for more information
about authentication methods.)
