The Person field contains the name of the person.

If the person is a member of an IP-Group, the group's name appears in the IP-Group field. You can assign the person to an IP-Group in the Modify Persons screen, as shown in Modifying a Person.

The body of the screen contains lines for each of the services that the Person might attempt to access. For each, fields indicate whether authentication is needed if the Person accesses the service from Inside or Outside their IP-Group. If no IP-Group is displayed for the Person, all accesses are considered to be Inside.

Possible values are:

  • M: Require authentication.

  • R: Reject the access.

  • blank: Allow access without authentication.
