The Firebox Users New Group page appears.
3 In the Account Name text box, type the name of the new group. This name must match the name
of a group in the LDAP directory.
This name must contain only letters, numbers, and the underscore (_)or dash (-) characters. Spaces are not
permitted.
4 In the Description text box, you can enter a description of the group. This field is optional.
5 From the Administrative Access drop-down list, select the level of Firebox X Edge administrative
access to assign to the group. You can select:
None - The members of the group have no access to Firebox X Edge administration functions.
Read-only - The members of this group can see, but not change, Firebox X Edge configuration and
status.
Full - The members of this group have full Firebox X Edge administrative privileges.
6 Use the Session maximum time-out text box to set the number of minutes a user session started
by a member of this group is allowed to stay active. When this limit occurs, the Firebox X Edge will
close the session.
7 Use the Session idle time-out text box to set the number of minutes a user session started by a
member of this group can stay idle before it is automatically closed by the Firebox X Edge.

access the external network through the Firebox X Edge.

Setting a WebBlocker profile for a user
A WebBlocker profile is a unique set of restrictions you can apply to users on your network to control
access to external Web sites. To apply a WebBlocker profile to the group, click the WebBlocker tab on
the Firebox Users New Group page and select a profile from the drop-down list. You must first create
WebBlocker profiles in the WebBlocker > Profiles area of the Firebox X Edge configuration pages. If no
profile is assigned, the users in this group have full access to all web sites. For more information on Web-
Blocker profiles, see “Creating WebBlocker Profiles” on page 123.
