Creating custom groups for web URL filtering

When you set up policy rules, you may need to include users who are not listed in your Active Directory. To add these users, you create custom groups within the Web URL Filtering service. These groups then appear in the
Groups
tab when you create or edit a policy rule.
To add members to the group, you can enter individual IP addresses, IP address ranges, user names in the format
domain\username
, or any combination of the three.
You cannot add a custom user to an LDAP group and you cannot add an LDAP user to a custom group.
