Managing group and congs
The Groups & Congs page enables you to dene policies that are required to congure your devices. You can create sub groups of the
global group policy and categorize devices based on your requirements. For example, devices can be grouped based on job functions,
device type, and so on.
Figure 2. Groups & Congs
You can dene policies for each group based on the following device types:
• Edge Gateway
– Ubuntu Core
– Ubuntu
– Windows
• Embedded PC
– Windows
– Ubuntu
Devices inherit policies in the order that they are created. The settings congured in a default policy group are applied as default settings in
all the policies listed in the Default Policy Group. In a group, all users and devices present in that group have Default Policy Group as their
default setting.
On the Device Details page, you can create an exception for a device in the group to have a subset of policies that are dierent from the
group default.
The conguration for a particular asset with details of where congurations are set—Global, Group, and the Device levels—are displayed
on the page. The option to create exceptions is available on the page. The Exception settings are applicable only for that selected devices.
