Policy Manager Console Distribute policies preview shows firewall profile settings are always being changed on Root level
Last updated
Issue:
No matter if a single host or policy domain is selected from the Policy Manager Console Domain tree, every time when firewall profile settings are changed, the Distribute policies preview shows that the settings are being changed on Root level.
Resolution:
All firewall profiles are shared by all the policies. If you edit a firewall profile in one policy, it will affect all policies that are using that firewall profile.
The firewall profiles are therefore always modified at root level.
If you only change which firewall profile a policy uses, then the Distribute policies preview will show for example: Root > Policy domain > Hostname
