Agent Authentication transparent to other users logged into the same PC

Arie
I configured UTM with Agent Authentication, assuming that multiple users could use the same PC with different profiles.

However, when one user logs in and the Agent authenticates with UTM, all the other users on that PC inherit the first user's account.

It looks like the Agent authentication process links the IP-address (or the MAC-address) to the account and browser requests are then filtered based on it - even though the other users are logged into their own Windows account.

Any way around it?

    Yes, the UTM maps the user via IP.  I don't know the Agent all that well.  The second user of the windows machine would need to use the Agent icon in the systray to log in as themselves.

    I don't know if there are options within Agent to log out automatically when a user logs out of Windows or (perhaps during install) to choose whether you want per-user settings.

    I would also presume that Agent could not handle Fast User Switching, where you have multiple users logged in at the same time, both of which could be access the Internet simultaneously.
