- Device groups allow you to apply profiles and actions to large numbers of devices. Dedicated configuration profiles can be created for each group.
- Groups can consist of devices of any OS type. Any OS-specific profiles you apply to a ‘mixed’ group will only get deployed those devices with a matching OS.
- ITarian MSP customers can create separate device groups for each company on their account.
- Enterprise customers, and EM stand-alone customers, can only create groups under the 'Default Company'.
