Device Group Management

Overview

Device groups help organise enrolled devices for easier management and policy enforcement. Groups are primarily created using dynamic attribute-based rules, allowing devices to be automatically added when they match specific conditions.

Creating Dynamic (Attribute-Based) Groups

Dynamic groups are rule-driven. Admins define conditions based on device attributes (e.g., OS, location), and any enrolled device that meets these conditions will automatically be assigned to the group.

Example:

• Attribute: OS
• Operator: equals
• Value: Windows

This means: all devices with an OS of Windows will automatically join the group.

Steps to Create a Group

1. Go to Admin Portal > Device Management>Device Groups
2. Click Create New Group
3. Enter a Group Name and Description
4. Add one or more attribute rules:
   • Select attribute (e.g., OS, Location, etc.)
   • Choose operator (e.g., equals, contains)
   • Enter the expected value
5. Save the group

🔄 Group Behaviour

• Devices are evaluated continuously against the group rules
• When a device matches the rules, it is automatically added to the group
• If a device no longer matches, it is removed from the group

📝 Note: Manual (Static) Grouping

Admins can also create groups without setting any attributes. In this case, devices must be manually added to the group after creation. This is useful for special cases or testing but is not automatic like attribute-based groups.
