# Tutorial: How to Configure Global Access Control

## Overview

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

## Prerequisites

- An installed Access Server.
- Users and/or groups configured.
- The subnet for your resource.

## Step 1: Grant access to a resource for all VPN users

1. Sign in to the Admin Web UI.
2. Click **Access Controls**.
3. Click the **Global Access Rules** tab.
4. Set **Reachable via** to **Route**.
5. Enter the **Subnets** for your resources. 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.
6. Click **Save** and **Reset**.
