Default Group is only important for the group related content such as Hotspot and stuff like that.
Firewalling and Web Authentication on the other hand know all groups attached to this user. So you can simply use the other groups, even if this user is not in the group.

I don't think so. I create test group add myself in this group. when i sign in it immediately falls to the default group and i tried blocking LAN to WAN by selecting Match known user and adding the test group. however still i can access internet

Did you import the Group from AD?

Did you place the Firewall Rule to block this user on top?

How did you block the user? By Webfilter or Firewall?

You get a Login? That means XG is trying to authenticate you with another method. Which credentials do you give XG with this Login?

As this Prompt could be ether Kerberos/NTLM or Captive Portal, it is hard to tell, what is happening in your case.
