Welcome to the forums. The only way you could pull this off is with the AD Connector and Policy manager. The Policy manager can redirect traffic based on the AD login. Send the traffic into a different rack that has a firewall entry to stop outgoing connectivity.

Nope, but I think there are trials available. With the Opensource package you can't manage things with any more granularity than IP address. Which isn't going to change based on the user login.

Is on your plans to allow this later? Maybe you could use the local user database for this purpose and configure the application in some way that the user must authenticate before using the Internet???...then the admin could make some policies for the users. Even you could sell that part too as an add-on. I'd absolutely buy it, because controlling based on IP is not a very effective way to control everything...you could have lots of computers and different people using them. If you are planning on this kind of things...this product will be definitely better than any other!!!
