Configuring Asset Management › Grouping Assets

Grouping Assets

An asset group lets you logically group your computers and users into a group. All Computers, All User Accounts, and All User Profiles are the default groups for computers, users, and user profiles, respectively. By grouping your assets into an asset group, you can do the following:

• Query the member of the group.
• Push certain jobs or tasks specific to the group.
• View the computers in the group that had violated policies.
• Specify group level permissions. For example, if you have various departments in your organization, you can probably group the assets based on the department code and give full permissions to the Department Manager for the group.

An asset group can be one of the following:

Static Groups

Contains members who are manually added to or removed from the group.

Dynamic Groups

Contains members who are dynamically added or removed based on the query result. Dynamic groups are based on a query.
