Managing Group Policies
Groups allow you to exibly employ hierarchical Group Policy management for device conguration. Optionally, sub-groups of the Global
Group Policy can be created to categorize devices according to corporate standards. For example, devices may be grouped based on job
functions, device type, bring-your-own-device, and so on.
Figure 2. Groups
At each group, you can dene policies for following device types:
• Edge Gateway
• Snappy
• Windows
• Embedded PC
• Windows
• Ubuntu
Policies are enforced in the following order:
• Device
• Group
• Global

2 Policies are inherited in the order they are created. Any settings you congure in a Default Policy Group will be the default in all the
policies below that Default Policy Group. Similarly for a Group, all Users and Devices in that Group will have Default Policy Group as
their default.
3 You can create an exception for a Device in a Group to have a subset of policies to be dierent from the Group default. You can do this
using the User Details page or the Device Details page. These detail pages display the conguration for that asset with details of
where congurations are set that is Global, Group, User, and Device levels and allows you the option to create exceptions.
