Unable to Edit "Gateway Specific Rules"

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• Unable to modify or manage rules residing within the Gateway-specific category
• Rules defined under "All Shared Rules" (including Emergency, System, Pre-Rules, Auto-Service, and Default) are read-only when viewed from the Gateway-specific rules category and cannot be edited there.
  
  

Environment

• VMware NSX-T - 4.2.X
• VMware Vcenter - 8.X

Cause

• In the NSX Manager UI, the "All Shared Rules" tab is a consolidated view meant for searching across all gateways. By design, you often cannot edit rules directly in this summary tab.
• The gateway rules are currently unmodifiable in the 'All Shared Rules' view. This is typically because the rules are either system-managed, inherited from a Manager policy, or the user is attempting to edit a read-only summary view rather than the specific Gateway policy tab.

Resolution

• Go to the Gateway Specific tab. Select the specific Tier-0 or Tier-1 gateway from the dropdown menu. Once you are looking at the specific gateway, the "Edit" and "Add Rule" buttons should become active.
