User-defined Who Objects
These rule objects have to be created manually, and can consist of the following:
• Hosts and Domains
• MAC Addresses
• Subnets
Mobile Who Objects
If you have installed SurfControl Mobile Filter, you can use the following objects in your rules:
• Mobile Users - The user name as defined in the SurfControl Client Administrator.
• Mobile Hosts - The host name as defined in the SurfControl Client Administrator.
Who Lists
Who Lists are a combination of Monitored Workstations, NT Domain and User Defined Who Objects. Who
lists are a convenient way of grouping Who objects together to share common rules.
The list of workstations available in the Rules Administrator is the same as you see in the Monitored Data,
in addition to the Novell NetWare and Windows NT users defined for the network. As Web Filter detects
new users, it updates both the Monitored Data and the Rules Administrator. To refresh the display with the
most current contents of the database, press F5.

Hosts and Domains
The Hosts and Domains object is used to apply a rule to a particular IP address, Host name or Domain on
your network. A host is a computer that is connected to a TCP/IP network which can include the Internet.
Each host has a unique IP address. A domain is a group of computers on a network that are administered
as a unit.
