Types of Device Groups

There are two general types of device groups:

  • static device groups
  • dynamic device groups

Static device groups are those which are populated manually, that is, all devices are individually added by the administrator.

Dynamic device groups are populated and maintained through either:

  • a query,
  • a directory server which was assigned to this group, or
  • a compliance rule, which collects the group's members according to their compliance, non-compliance or inability to be evaluated.

The different types of group are distinguished by their icon:
