Authorization
Enable this option to request Policy Manager to fetch role mapping attributes (or
authorization attributes) from this authentication source. If a user or device
successfully authenticates against this authentication source, then Policy Manager
also fetches role mapping attributes from the same source if the Use for
Authorization field is enabled.
This check box is enabled by default.

previously configured authentication source from the drop-down list and click Add to
add it to the list of authorization sources. Click Remove to remove rhe selected

then also fetches role mapping attributes from these additional authorization sources.

sources at the service level. Policy Manager fetches role mapping attributes
irrespective of which authentication source the user or device was authenticated
against.
