Assigning Rights

Rights are granted to recipients.

A recipient is a user, a group, or everyone.

To grant a right to a recipient, you add that recipient to the right.

You may add the same recipient to the right many times, each with different restrictions.

Default policies will be sufficient, but you may wish to customise certain services.

When you access the Internet or change WinGate configuration, WinGate will look through the recipient list assigned to that event. It either finds a recipient with that right, or reaches the end of the list of recipients. If it fails then the right is not granted, and the user will be denied access.

System policies are available by double clicking the ‘Rule book’ icon on the configuration pane.

Service policies are on the Policies tab on the dialog for each service.

These two dialogs have a similar feel and operate identically. See the Policies Tab for details on the components of these dialogs.

Double-click a recipient to edit its rights.

Click the Add button to add a new recipient.

You will be presented with a recipient properties dialog .
