# 3.4. User Classes

The User Classes Panel

This panel allows you to create user classes for certain IP addresses or blocks of addresses and to control the privileges of those classes. For example, this enables you to allow anonymous or guest users greater than normal permissions when they log in from certain machines.

To create a new class, hit the Add Class button and, in the resulting dialog box, enter the name of the new class, the privilege levels that can belong to the class (more on this below) and the IP address for that class. A `*` character can be used to define a block of addresses. (For example, `127.0.0.*`includes all local users.) When done, hit OK.

Back in the User Classes panel, you can select a class and modify its description and behavior. The IP address can be modified. The class can be defined to include anonymous, guest and/or real users from that address. Checking the Autogroup to box causes logins in the class to be assigned to the selected group and given its privileges.

The right side of the panel allows classes to be assigned limits on the number of simultaneous logins during specified times. You can also specify the message to be shown when the user limit is exceeded.

In the screenshot, real users logging in from 127.0.0.* are autogrouped to "jsinger" and only one user in that class is allowed at any time.
