# Tutorial: How to Configure User Access Control

## Overview

This tutorial shows how to grant access for a VPN user to a specific resource based on the subnet.

## Prerequisites

- An installed Access Server.
- Configured users.
- The resource's subnet.

## Step 1: Grant user access to a resource

1. Sign in to the Admin Web UI.
2. Click **User Management \> User Permissions**.
3. For the user you want to grant access, click **More Settings**.
4. In the **Access Control** section of the user settings, select **Use NAT** for the addressing method.
5. For **Allow Access To these Networks**, enter the subnet for your resource. For example, you could enter the subnet of a print server, 203.0.113.12/32.

   > **Tip**
   >
   > For a subnet, when you want the reference to represent that single IP address, you enter /32, per CIDR address formatting.
