Geolocation groups let you define a named set of countries once and reuse it in policy rules, instead of selecting countries one by one in each rule. When you update a group's countries, the change applies to every rule that uses that group.

Configuring a Geolocation Group

You can create, edit, or delete geolocaton groups as required.

Creating a Geolocaton Group

To create a geolocation group, complete the following steps:

In the management consle, go to Policy > Context > Geolocation Groups.
Click New Group.
Enter a name and, optionally, a description.
Select one or more countries.
Click Submit, then click Apply Changes.

To add or remove countries in a grolocation group, or to make any other changes,

Editing a Geolocation Group

To edit a geolocation group, complete the following steps:

On the Geolocation Groups page, navigate to the applicable row and click the edit icon.
Add or remove countries, or change the description, as needed.
Save and apply your policy changes.

Every rule that uses the group now uses its updated list of countries.

Deleting a Geolocation Group

You can delete a group only when no rule uses it. If a rule still uses the group, a dialog appears and shows which rule uses it. Remove the group from that rule first, then delete the group and apply your policy changes.

Important Points

Each group name must be unique within your tenant.
A group name can't be the same as a country name.
A group must contain at least one country.
A country can belong to more than one group. If rules use groups that share countries, review your rule order to make sure the right rule applies.
