Objects > Dynamic User Groups

To create a dynamic user group, select Objects > Dynamic User Groups, Add a new dynamic user group and then configure the following settings:

Dynamic User Group Settings	Description
Name	Enter a Name that describes the dynamic user group (up to 63 characters). This name appears in the source user list when defining Security policy rules. The name must be unique and use only alphanumeric characters, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.
Description	Enter a Description for the object (up to 1,023 characters).
Shared (Panorama only)	Select this option if you want the match criteria of the dynamic user group to be available to every device group on Panorama. Note: Panorama does not share the members of the group with device groups. If you clear this option, the match criteria of the dynamic user group are available only to the Device Group selected in the Objects tab.
Disable override (Panorama only)	Select this option to prevent administrators from overriding the settings of this dynamic user group in device groups that inherit the object. This selection is cleared by default, which means administrators can override the settings for any device group that inherits the object.
Match	Add Match Criteria to define the members in the dynamic user group using the AND or OR operators to include multiple tags. Negation is not supported. Note:  When you Add Match Criteria, only existing tags display. You can select an existing tag or create new tags.
Tags	(Optional) Select or enter the static object tags that you want to apply to the dynamic user group object. This tags the dynamic user group object itself, not the members in the group. The tags you select allow you to group related items and are not related to the match criteria. For information on tags, see Objects > Tags.

After you add a dynamic user group, you can view the following information for the group:

Dynamic User Groups Column	Description
Location (Panorama only)	Identifies whether the match criteria for the dynamic user group is available to every device group on Panorama (Shared) or to the selected device group.
Users	Select more to see the list of users in the dynamic user group. • To add tags to users for inclusion in the group, Register Users, then select the Registration Source and the Tags you want to apply to the user. When the user’s tags match the criteria for the group, the firewall adds the user to the dynamic user group. • (Optional) Specify a Timeout in minutes (default is 0; range is 0 to 43,200) to remove users from the group when the specified time expires. • (Optional) Add Users to the group or Delete users from the group. • To remove tags from users and prevent them from becoming members of the group, select the users, and Unregister Users, and then select Registration Source and Tags. • When done reviewing or modifying the dynamic user group list of users, click Close.
