The PF FAQ does not cover that.

But it should. Anyone interested in writing a paragraph with example of 
using "user" and "group" for the PF FAQ?  (Also "group" is not supported 
on some PF platforms because the gid of user with the socket is not kept.)

You can also setup access rules by authenticated login first -- see the PF 
FAQ "authpf.html" chapter.
