You use FortiManager to manage the branch devices and configure the SD-WAN template. You have configured direct internet access (DIA) for the IT department users.

FortiManager enforces a strict distinction:
"Firewall policies must reference SD-WAN zones, not individual SD-WAN members, when used in conjunction with SD-WAN templates. Attempting to install a policy that references a specific member (interface) will result in a deployment error, as member-level targeting is not supported in SD-WAN policy abstraction. This enforces centralized policy consistency and proper SD-WAN operation." Ensuring policies target zones allows FortiGate to dynamically select the optimal member.
