Managing Virtual Groups

Virtual Groups manage groups of users and devices.

You can use Virtual Groups with Active Directory for added flexibility or as an alternative to Active Directory.

Objects can be members of more than one virtual group.

Some virtual groups are pre-defined with users and devices assigned to them automatically.

To create, edit, or delete a virtual group:

In the left navigation panel, click Asset Management.
In the left pane, click Organizational Tree.
Click Virtual Groups.
In the top toolbar, click the Actions menu and select the required operation.

Notes:

A user or a device can belong to multiple virtual groups.
Selecting a certain user or device shows the Active Directory information collected about them.
You cannot edit Active Directory groups but you can view their content.
You can create a group and then assign the users or devices to the group, or select users or devices first and then create a group from them.

To add a device or a user to a virtual group:

In the left navigation panel, click Asset Management.
In the left pane, click Computers.
Select the applicable device or user from the list.
From the top toolbar, click Computer Actions > in the section General Actions, click Add to Virtual Group.
Select the applicable Virtual Group.
Click OK.
