Managing groups and congurations
The Groups & Congs page enables you to dene policies that are required to congure your devices. You can create sub groups of the
global group policy and categorize devices based on your requirements. For example, devices may be grouped based on job functions,
device type, and so on.
Figure 2. Groups and conguration
For each group, you can dene policies for the following device types:
• ThinOS
• WES
• Linux
• ThinLinux
• Wyse Software Thin client
Devices inherit policies in the order that they are created. The settings congured 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 dierent from the
group default.
The conguration for a particular asset with details of where congurations 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.
NOTE
:
• When you modify the lower-level policies, a bullet symbol is displayed next to the policy. This symbol indicates that the policy is an
override to a higher-level policy. For example, System Personalization, Networking, Security, and so on.
• When you modify policies, an asterisk (*) is displayed next to the policy. This symbol indicates that there are unsaved or
unpublished changes. To review these changes before publishing them, click the View pending changes link.
