Server Edition
Windows7FirewallControl Server Edition allows setting application network access permission individually per-user. The zones can be set zones for Administrator, Guest and any other user for a particular application separately. The feature is useful with Terminal Server (Windows Server 2008) extremely, the Server Edition can be launched on any Vista/Windows7 running computer however.
Internet Explorer (for instance) can be permitted to connect to any site for administrators, to corporate local network web server only for regular users and unable to browse any web server for guests.
How to configure per-user access
The "User" column of the Programs list shows username and access zone set to applications. The "User" parameter can be changed with the Edit Application dialog's user selection option. Any application will follow specified zone if launched by a specific/selected user registered on the computer, server or the domain.
The following per-user management logic must be supposed. If a specific user is set to an application with a zone, the application will follow the chosen zone when the application is launched in name of the user only. If the application with a zone is set to "Any User", the application will follow the zone when the application is launched in name of any the other users.
For example, you set Internet Explorer with Web+FTPZone for "Any User", Internet Explorer with DisableAll for Guest and Internet Explorer set with LocalOnly for JohnSmith. Internet Explorer will follow the zones for the users above as specified and Web+FTPZone for the other users including Administrators, Regular Users and so on.
Windows7FirewallControl is able to detect non-listed applications only, so if you set an application permissions for a specific user and do not set the application to "Any User", the application launched in name of any other user will not be detected for the second time and will be blocked entirely as any other initial access attempt is blocked. The hint may be used to create special security schemes however.
