Description This article describes the difference between User groups and Endpoint groups.
Scope FortiSASE.
Solution

In FortiSASE, there are two kinds of groups: User groups and Endpoint groups.

It could be confusing if mixing the concepts of both groups.

 

User groups:

The User groups are for onboarding and connecting to the SIA.

The endpoint group can be edited in Endpoint management.
