Hi,

 

Its clearly written. If we have single instance and all remote users need to access the f5, enable the option. If we have multiple instances and one group only need to access one instance disable it(for example, if we allow one application team to access their application partition in F5. that time we dont need to allow access to allow). F5 administrators need full access and partition accessors need only access to that instance.

 

Enabled

Choose this value if you want to enable remote access for the defined user group.

Disabled

Choose this value if you want to disable remote access for the defined user group. Note that if you configure multiple instances of this remote role group (one instance for each role-partition pair for the attribute string), then choosing a value of 

Disabled

 disables remote access for all user group members, regardless of the remote role group instance.
