Using Global Groups for Group Configuration
To apply group configurations using the AirWave Global Groups feature, first go to the Groups > List
configuration page. Select Add to add a new group, or select the name of the group to edit settings for an existing
group. Select the
Duplicate icon (usually near the last column of the list) to create a new group with identical
configuration to an existing group.
 To have Global Group status, a group must contain no devices; accordingly, access points can never be added
to a Global Group. Global groups are visible to users of all roles, so they may not contain devices, which can be
made visible only to certain roles. Figure 69 illustrates the Groups > List page.

 To set a group as a Global Group, go to the Groups > Basic configuration page for an existing or a newly
created group. Select Yes for the Is Global Group field under the Global Group section.
 When the change is saved and applied, the group will have a checkbox next to fields. Figure 70 illustrates this
configuration page.

 When a Global Group configuration is pushed to Subscriber Groups, all settings are static except for settings
with the checkbox selected; for fields with checkboxes selected, the value or setting can be changed on the
corresponding tab for each managed group. In the case of the Groups > SSIDs configuration page, override
options are available only on the Add configuration page (go to the Groups > SSIDs configuration page and
select Add). Global templates are also configurable as part of Global Groups; for more information, see
“Creating and Using Templates” on page 155 .
