    3. In Add Scoping Filter, select mail as the source attribute. The mail attribute needs to exist for the user to be imported into Universal ZTNA.

For this example, select INCLUDES as the operator and the email domain as the clause value.

  17. Provisioning can take up to an hour to start. If desired Provision on Demand can be selected from the Provisioning Overview to immediately start a provisioning cycle.
  18. Select the group or users to provision at that moment.
  19. Once provisioning is complete, the logs can be reviewed in case there were issues provisioning.
