Manage Users

 

• Click 'Administration' > 'Authentication Configuration' > 'User Management' to open this interface.

• The 'Users' interface lets you add end-users in order to apply user-specific policies.

• User-based policy is supported by the SWG agent, proxy chain and ICAP traffic forwarding methods.

• You can import users in bulk from a CSV file.

• The 'Add User' dialog depends on the type of end user authentication type selected.

• If 'Active Directory' is configured then only the user name needs to be completed.

• Policies are prioritized top-to-bottom according to the list in 'Configuration' > 'Policy'.

• In the event of a conflict between policies over a security setting, the setting in the policy nearer the top of the list prevail.

• Click 'Configuration' > 'Policy' > 'Edit' > 'Policy Order' to change the priority of a policy. See 'Apply Policies to Network' section for more details.

The 'Users' interface allows you:

• Add a new user

• Import users from a CSV file

• Edit an existing user

• Delete a user

 

Note – You can also enroll users by syncing with Active Directory: Sync via Active Directory Relevant if you chose 'Active Directory' as the method of user authentication. After installation and configuration, AD users and groups will be automatically added to SWG and will be visible under 'User Management'. The SWG agent will automatically synchronize with AD every 3 hours. This method is explained in 'Active Directory'.

• Click 'Users' and then 'Add User' at top-right

The 'Add User' dialog will open:

• Username - Enter the username of the user. Please make sure this is same as in 'Users' in Windows.

• Group - Relevant only if 'Hosted DB' is selected in the 'Authentication Settings' interface. Click on the field and select the appropriate group for the user. The groups added in the 'Groups' interface will be listed here. See 'Manage Groups' for details.

• Department - Relevant only if 'Hosted DB' is selected in 'Authentication Settings' interface. Click on the field and select the appropriate department for the user. The departments added in the 'Departments' interface will be listed here. See 'Manage Departments' for details.

• Click 'Save' when done

The 'User' will be added and displayed in the list.

You can now apply policies to this user according to your requirements. Make sure 'User Authentication' is selected in the 'Locations' interface. See 'Apply Policies to Networks' to learn more about deploying polices.

 

Import users from a CSV file

Comodo SWG allows you to add users in bulk from a CSV file.

• There is a sample .csv file in 'Administration' > 'Authentication Configuration' > 'User Management' > 'Users' > 'Sample Import CSV File'.

• Enter user data separated by commas, as follows:

username,group,department

• Username is mandatory. Other fields are optional.

• Each user should be on a separate line

• Each user can be member of one, several or no groups. They may also be a member of one or no departments.

• If a user is a member of more than one group, the groups should be listed as a comma-separated string and enclosed in double quotes. An example is given below:

• user1,"group1,group2,group3",dept1

• If you want add only the username, then add two commas after the username. See example below:

• user2,

• If you add a non-existent group or department to the .csv, then the group/department will be auto-created in the interface. Click 'Administration' then 'Groups' or 'Departments' to view these items.
