        "/user-experience*" { return }
        "/user*" -
        "/admin*" {
            reject
        }
        default { return }
    }

I did this and it worked...I'll give the above a shot.

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
 if { not ( [class match [IP::client_addr] equals first_data_group] ) } {
  reject
 } elseif {([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/admin") and ([class match [IP::client_addr] equals second_data_group])} { 
    reject
 } elseif {([HTTP::uri] equals "/user") and ([class match [IP::client_addr] equals second_data_group])} { 
    reject
 } elseif {([HTTP::uri] equals "/user/") and ([class match [IP::client_addr] equals second_data_group])} {
    reject
 } elseif {([HTTP::uri] contains "/?q=admin"|"/?q=user") and ([class match [IP::client_addr] equals second_data_group])} {
    reject
 }
}
