Explanation

User-ID is a feature that enables you to identify and control users on your network based on their usernames instead of their IP addresses. User mapping is the process of mapping IP addresses to usernames using various sources of information. The most reliable source for collecting User-ID user mapping is GlobalProtect. GlobalProtect is a solution that provides secure access to your network and resources from anywhere. GlobalProtect agents on endpoints send user mapping information directly to the firewall or Panorama, which eliminates the need for probing other sources. GlobalProtect also supports dynamic IP address changes and roaming users. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices/10-1/user-id-best-practices/user-id-best- practices/user-id-best-practices-for-globalprotect
