Service Policies
These are accessible from the Policies tab of each service and are configured for each particular User service.
There are 3 Rights to which users can be assigned in any service:
- Users can access services/this service
- This right specifies which users can use this service, and what requests they can make.
- Users can modify or delete services/this service
- This right specifies which users can modify the settings of this service or even delete it.
- User can start/stop services/this service
- This right specifies which users can start or stop this service.
Note:
You will see that these rights are the same as the service rights found in the System Policies, however it must be remembered that the service rights above are being set on the particular service where as the System policies are set System wide.

How to Add/Edit Rights for a Recipient through Policies on each User service:
- Open GateKeeper
- Log on as Administrator
- Select the desired service from the Services Tab in the GateKeeper control panel.
- Select the Policies configuration.
- Select the desired right from the drop down menu.
- Click the Add button to add a new recipient to that right.
- Select desired user or group.
- You will be presented with a Recipient properties dialog.
- Configure the desired options for the chosen recipient.
- Click OK
When you access the Internet or change WinGate configuration, WinGate will look through the recipient list assigned to that event.
It either finds a recipient with that right, or reaches the end of the list of recipients.
If it fails then the right is not granted, and the user will be denied access.
You can configure more options for the Recipient when assigning a right.
