Managing groups and configurations
The Groups & Configs page enables you to define policies that are required to configure your devices. You can create sub
groups of the global group policies and categorize devices based on your requirements. For example, devices may be grouped
based on job functions, device type, and so on.
By default, the Default Device Policy Group and Default User Policy Group are present on the Groups & Configs page.
Devices inherit policies in the order that they are created. The settings that are configured in a default policy group are applied
as default settings in all the policies listed in the default policy group. In a group, all devices present in that group have default
policy group as their default settings.
