Defender Prompts on AD Group Policy deployed firewall changes

Hello -

I'm testing Windows Defender in an Active Directory environment, where I am
the Enterprise Admin. I am testing on a machine on which my Domain user is
Local Administrator. When I recently changed Group Policy which applies to
the machine which I am testing, Windows Defender popped up a notice that
Windows Firewall changes needed approval.

I have not yet tested this in the context of a user which is not a Local
Administrator on the machine on which I am testing. However, in general, it
seems as though Windows Defender should not prompt for acceptance of
something that the Enterprise Admin has deemed necessary to roll out as a
mandatory change.
