## Symptoms

- * Although two distinct RADIUS authenticated User Groups were defined, The Rule Base cannot distinguish between access privileges based on RADIUS authentication, and access privileges based on User Groups.
* generic\* is a member of both User Groups.

## Cause

The User Groups created on FireWall-1 were configured with `generic*` as a member. You cannot separate the `generic*` user into two User Groups, as `generic*` then becomes a member of both groups. Thus, giving access to the resources that `generic*` is allowed via the created rules.
