Apply Web and Application Filtering to User or User Group, instead of Policy (aka CyberoamOS implementation)

In Cyberoam OS you could apply specific web and application filtering policies to a specific user or user group. It appears that this feature is missing from Sophos XG (SFOS), and you instead must create a policy which matches certain users (or groups) and apply the relevant filter there.

This results in a LOT more policies needed to be created for each individual policy type you want deployed and does not seem as elegant as the Cyberoam OS way.

David,

this is true. In the next version, this aspect will be improved. Look at the feature request: http://feature.astaro.com/forums/330219-sophos-xg-firewall/suggestions/11107656-webfilter-application-on-user

At the moment applying different policies per users is like assembling a puzzle!

This (plus the way FW Policies themselves have changed as per my other post) has been a big reason why we have NOT rolled our clients forward onto XG yet and are holding them back at CR OS.

The Cyberoam way was very elegant, even if their UI was very basic in design.
