This works with security groups on VM ports because there are no "deny" actions. When we have "deny" actions in firewall policies, and there are multiple policies applied to a port, if one policy allows the traffic and another policy denies the traffic, there is a conflict. It now becomes random whether or not that traffic will be allowed or denied.

It is possible to assign multiple groups to ports during firewall group creation by not specifying a port in the group creation command.
