# 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 **Users**.
3. For the user you want to grant access, click their username.
4. Click the **Group and User Access Rules** tab on the single user page.
   - The **User-Level Access Rules** display, which includes any user, group, or global access rules.
5. Click **New Access Rule**, and enter the details in the **Define user access rule** section that displays. 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 **Restart**.
