Meraki Client VPN different groups restricted access
Hi,
Is there a way to restrict Client VPN access in Meraki with different groups?
I tried looking but so far what I've seen is one to all i.e. the rule applied applies to all. In my case, I want to separate what IT group can access via VPN over the Business side VPN users.
Is there a way to do this via Merak?
Thanks
Solved! Go to solution.

At this time, the MX does not support mapping group policies via Active Directory for users connecting through the Client VPN. (Reference: https://documentation.meraki.com/zMeraki_Internal/Draft_Articles/DRAFT%3A_Client_VPN_Overview_-_UPDA...) so either we can achieve this by applying the group policy per client or we can make the Firwall rules accordingly to restrict the access between different vlan.

You need to create a group policy for each group of different rules that you want. Then log in via VPN as the user account. After this they appear in the portal. Once they appear their apply the group policy to them.
The setting will now stick each time the user logs in.

When you say 'settings stick' to the user, do you know how ?
MAC adress, username/password, etc....
thanks

The Group Policy is applied to the device, not the user - generally this is by MAC address. Note that the MAC address will be that of the VPN adapter on the client, so different to its Ethernet adapter. Thus if a client connects via Client VPN and directly to the MX (e.g. in an office) then it will appear twice in the client list - once for each MAC address, and so could have a different Group Policy assigned for each.
