Can VLAN groups be used even if only one VLAN from the group is available on the underlying wired network?

I'm trying to reduce the number of user profiles required when multiple locations have have different underlying VLANs for the same user type.

Yes this is possible, so long as you have proper classification rules to direct clients from that location to the active VLAN.

I just realized that you can also set the VLAN and use a location classification.

It would be better to use VLAN instead of VLAN group when only one VLAN per location is used and use the location classification right?

I think that would be an easier configuration to set up and manage, yes.

I have setup the VLAN to use location classification instead of the VLAN group and it is working great. This allowed me to reduce similar user profiles to one each and hand out the correct VLAN based on the location. Thank you for your help.
