Question

Based on the screenshot, what is the purpose of the Included Groups?

Options

  • AThey are groups that are imported from RADIUS authentication servers.
  • BThey are the only groups visible based on the firewall's credentials.
  • CThey contain only the users you allow to manage the firewall.
  • DThey are used to map users to groups.

Explanation

In the User-ID Group Mapping configuration (Device > User Identification > Group Mapping Settings), the 'Included Groups' field specifies which LDAP/AD groups the firewall should retrieve and map users into. The firewall uses this mapping so that security policies referencing group names can match actual users. This is purely a user-to-group mapping mechanism - it does not restrict firewall management access (C), nor is it limited to RADIUS-sourced groups (A). The firewall's credentials determine what it can read from the directory (B), but the Included Groups filter which groups are actually mapped.
