Mergeable rules in access control policy

Mergeable rules are access control policy rules that

have similar allow and block settings
can be consolidated into a single rule to optimize policy management, and
are identified and listed in the Mergeable Rules tab for review and remediation.

Mergeable rules management process

You can review the mergeable-rule observations and stage remediation for the entire category, selected observations, or individual rules within an expanded observation. Click Merge Selected to merge only the staged items. Unselected mergeable-rule observations remain unchanged until you stage and apply remediation for them.

The Mergeable Rules tab displays a list of mergeable rules for review and remediation in the access control policy management process. Users can select and merge consecutive rules, with the first selected rule being updated with the merged criteria.

Note

When you select individual rules to merge, select only consecutive rules. The first selected rule in the sequence is updated with the merged rule criteria, and the remaining selected rules are removed. You can start the merge from any rule in a consecutive set. The first rule in the observation does not need to be selected.
