Explanation

Dynamic User Groups (DUGs) allow the firewall to automatically adjust group membership in real time based on registered IP tags or user attributes, without requiring a manual policy edit or commit. When a user matches the defined tag criteria, they are instantly included in the DUG and the associated security policy applies - eliminating the operational overhead of modifying and committing policy every time a user needs to be added or removed. This is especially valuable in dynamic environments (e.g., quarantine workflows, role-based access) where user attributes change frequently.
