Is it possibe to update entries on an iRule data-group from an iRule
Scenario is, I'm using GFA in APM with irule data-groups as the look up source for the GFA secret keys per user. However, I'd like to allow users to enroll but I'm unsure if I can allow update ...

Hello.
iRules are executed in data plane scope and to modify data-groups is part of the control-plane scope.
It's not the best choice to run control-plane tasks from a data-plane because of the performance (many data-plane tasks could be executing at the same time as only one control-plane task).
That said, you can trigger an iCall from an iRule to modify the data-group configuration. Some examples:
