Creating user groups
You can create user groups and assign user accounts to user groups based on custom criteria, such as user location, organizational group, or BlackBerry® device model. User accounts that are part of a user group can exist on multiple BlackBerry® Enterprise Server instances in the BlackBerry Domain.
Create a group to manage similar user accounts
You can reduce the time that you spend managing user accounts by adding similar user accounts to a group, and assigning shared properties, such as software configurations or IT policies, to the group. Properties that you assign to a group are assigned to all user accounts in the group.
- In the BlackBerry® Administration Service, on the BlackBerry solution management menu, expand Group.
- Click Create a group.
- In the Group information section, type a name and description for the group.
- Click Save.
After you finish:
- Add properties to the group.
- Add user accounts to the group.

- Select the user accounts.
- In the Add to user configuration list, click Add group.
- In the Available groups list, click the group that you want to add the user accounts to.
