The simplest examples of gauged supergravities are N = 1 or N = 2 theories with Fayet‐Iliopoulos (FI) terms. FI terms in supergravity imply that the R‐symmetry is gauged. Also the U(1) or SU(2) local symmetries of Kähler and quaternionic‐Kähler manifolds contribute to R‐symmetry gauge fields. This short review clarifies the relations.
