Groups

A group is a virtual container for users and rules. Connections originated from the client computer of a user in a particular group are controlled by the rules defined in the same group. In order to create a user or a rule, a group must be created first.

Each row in the list represents a group in the system; it contains the following fields:

ID: the ID of the group assigned by the system when the group is created; ID is read-only and cannot be modified;
Parent: ID of the parent group;
Name: plain-text name of the group;
# Child: number of children groups in the group (read-only field);
# Rules: number of rules defined in the group (read-only field);
# Users: number of users in the group (read-only field);
