Managing mobile user access on networks that rely on IP address-based authorization is challenging because dynamic IP assignment from Prisma® Access can break access policies. The Static IP Allocation feature allows you to assign a fixed IP address to Prisma Access mobile users to address this challenge. This feature is useful if your network deployments restrict user access to resources using IP addresses as part of their network and application design. This functionality simplifies deployment and provides critical benefits:

You can assign static IP addresses for mobile users based on the Prisma Access theater or User-ID™

You can now use location groups and user groups to improve your IP address assignment for mobile users, in addition to theater and User-ID.

The supported number of IP address pool profiles is significantly increased, simplifying the management and scaling of large mobile user deployments.
