Assign an app or app group to a user group
When you assign an app to a user group, the app is made available to all devices in the user group for that device type.
If a user account is a member of multiple user groups that have the same apps or app groups assigned to them, only one instance of the app or app group appears in the list of assigned apps for that user account. If the same app is assigned to a user group and directly to a user account, the settings (for example, whether the app is required) for the app assigned directly to the user account are applied.
Before you begin:
- Add the app to the available app list
- Optionally, add the apps to an app group
- On the menu bar, click Groups.
- Click the name of a group.
- On the Settings tab, in the Assigned apps section, click the + icon.
- In the search field, type the app name, vendor, or URL of the app that you want to add.
- Select the check box beside the apps or app group that you want to assign to the user account.
- Click Next.
-
In the Disposition
drop-down list for the app, perform one of the following actions:
- To require users to follow the actions defined for apps in the compliance profile assigned to them, select Required. This option is not available for BlackBerry apps.
- To permit users to install and remove the app, select
Optional.Note: If the same app is assigned to a user account and to the user group that the user belongs to, the disposition of the app assigned to the user account takes precedence
- Click Assign.
