Working with User Awareness

In the Users & Objects > User Awareness page, you can enable User Awareness if your centrally managed Security Management Server is configured to work with this feature. The Security Management Server can connect to the Active Directory through a connected Security Gateway.

User Awareness lets you configure the firewall to enforce access control on individual users and groups. Identity Tags let you include external identifiers provided by an Identity Source in Access Role matching. These external identifiers act like a tag that can be assigned to a specific user, device or group.

User Awareness lets you create rules for specified users in these Rule Bases:

• Firewall

• URL Filtering and Application Control

• Threat Prevention

• SSL Inspection

• Anti-Spam
