Global security profiles
Global profiles can be configured globally across multiple VDOMs. Some or all profiles may be commonly-shared across VDOMs. Global profiles are available as read-only for VDOM-level administrators and can only be edited or deleted from within the global settings. The name for any global security profile must begin with g- for identification. Each security feature has at least one default global profile, available for all VDOMs to use.
Some security profile features, such as URL filters under web-filter, are not available for use in a global profile.
