Enterprises need to enforce configuration objects and global settings consistently across all deployments. By referencing global settings across various scopes, such as snippets or folders, organizations can streamline operations, eliminate redundant configurations, and enhance centralized management. For example, organizations can effectively manage custom URL categories for access policy rules, threat prevention profiles, zones, addresses, and other objects representing standard network segments.

This feature allows you to reference any common configurations or objects attached to a global scope and push to NGFWs or Prisma Access deployments. These shared objects and configurations within the global scope are available to all the snippets. Snippets associated with the global scope are considered a global snippet, and the objects defined within these snippets can be referenced across any snippets in the configuration. This simplifies the process of managing configurations from a single location, updating, and enforcing global standards across all deployments.
