Hi All,
Using the Peplink 580, there are 3 default user groups: Manager, Staff and Guest. Is there any way to add additional user groups?
Also, is there any way to specify that a particular user group uses a particular WAN? ie, Managers use WAN 1, Staff WAN 2, etc.?
Many thanks
On and off we come across needs for user-defined user group is How many user group do we need?
And yes prioritising WAN for certain user group will complete user group QoS as well.
I am moving this to Feature Request forum for further comments. Anyone else with similar needs, feel free to chime in.
Anyone else think this would be a useful feature?
I would really like to be able to create my own groups.

YES!! When I saw that you could set rules for user groups, I assumed I could create my own user groups. I was very disappointed to find out it’s limited to 3 built-in groups. Right now I would need at least 6 user groups to make it work as well as I’d like, but could easily imagine needing even more than that at a later date.
Yes, +1 to this feature request.
It is extremely limiting to have only 3 built-in User Groups and no ability to create custom user groups. In my case, I need to create at least 8-10 groups based on specific VLANs (and one based on specific MAC addresses if possible). This would help segregate VoIP traffic from guest wifi, home-office, printers, servers, admins, home users/adults and home users/minors. This would help me set different QoS and content blocking policies.
Allowing custom User Group creating based on VLANs, IPs, and MACs is an absolute necessity. I am extremely surprised that no one thought of this from the beginning. It just seems like a large architectural gap.
Apologies for dragging up an old topic, but is the limitation of 3 pre-defined user groups still there in 8.2.0? The ability to add more user groups (and rename the existing ones) is a must for us.
One can add multiple sub-nets to each group/level of QOS but there are only three of the latter. This can be seen at Network → QOS.
Thanks. But still no ability to add more? Or to be able to rename the three pre-defined groups?
I have a feature request in to allow bandwidth shaping by WAN in addition to user group. This area can use some improvement IMO.
Rename: Not so far as I as aware.
“Add more:” Groups: no. Subnets within a group: yes.
We’ve never seen a situation where more levels of bandwidth reservation were needed (although we respect those who have/do) but I’d sure like to be able to rename them to something that makes sense for our customers’ varied situations.

YES!!! I would use this TODAY if i had the option.
Please see (and vote on):

We absolutely need the ability to add a 4th usergroup. The hardware we have is not the limiting factor, just this 3 group setting.
I registered an account to add my two cents that it’s insane that this isn’t an option. This product was advertised as having QoS but it’s basically useless the way it is, I can’t even use QoS groups because “All DHCP reservation clients” has taken over all the groups since I have DHCP reservations in all three groups.
