rules[].action

string

The Action to perform when the client connection triggers the rule. Valid actions for firewall rules are: "allow", "deny", "apply_security_profile_group" and "goto_next". Valid actions for packet mirroring rules are: "mirror", "do_not_mirror" and "goto_next".
rules[].securityProfileGroup

string
