ZyWALL USG 100/200 Series User’s Guide

Objects store information and are referenced by other features. If you update this information 
in response to changes, the ZyWALL automatically propagates the change through the 
features that use the object.

The following table introduces the objects. You can also use this table when you want to delete 
an object because you have to delete references to the object first.

Use these screens to configure the ZyWALL’s administrator and user accounts. The ZyWALL 
provides the following user types.

If you want to force users to log in to the ZyWALL before the ZyWALL routes traffic for 
them, you might have to configure prerequisites first.
