Device Manager (DM)
NOTE: DMs can share permissions to the tasks and
policies created by each other. This sharing occurs by
having complete overlap with the device groups
contained in the task or policy, and those assigned to the
DM. If the DM loses complete overlap with the groups
contained in the task or policy, the DM will no longer be
able to run or edit it unless this overlap is restored.
• Get only device permissions from the admin. All other
permissions are fixed.
• Run tasks, policies, and other actions on the devices assigned
by the administrator.
• Cannot delete or modify any groups.
NOTE: Users with Device Manager (DM) privileges
cannot be assigned groups.
