Manage Device Group

Device Group is the logical grouping of devices where every device must be assigned to at least one device group at the time of registration. Device(s) can be added to any device group(s) as well as one device can be added to multiple device groups. Whenever a device group is assigned to any device, all the user group(s) which are associated with that device group are also transferred to that device.
