Firewall rules: Rule groups/containers for management

Jonathan Smith

We're up to nearly 150 firewall rules with one of our large clients. We would love it if we could drop a number of rules into a single container/group within the interface to keep together and give the group a name and description. Firewall rules inside containers should stay in the proper order within the group and moving the container would move all the rules together in a single go. Descriptions of the group could be filled out to explain the purpose of the group (Ex: Allow subset of users access to XYZ). 

Maybe have a (+) button to the left of the group to expand/collapse viewing the individual rules in each group? Granted, this might be harder to do in a page that only allows XX rules on the page….

    Thanks for the detailed breakdown. 150 rules is a lot to manage in a flat list, and the grouping behavior you've described covers the key interactions well.

    This is currently under consideration as we review our roadmap. The specifics you've shared, including the pagination concern, will be useful when we get to scoping this. Appreciate the input!
