Group profiles
You can apply configuration profiles with specific settings to any device group. If a device belongs to multiple groups, then all group profiles are applied to the device. If the settings in one profile clash with those of another then EM applies the more restrictive of the two settings. For example, if one profile allows the use of the camera and another blocks it, then the device cannot use the camera.
See Configuration Templates if you want to learn more about profiles.
