Creating and managing groups

You can manage multiple user accounts by adding the user accounts to a group and managing the group.

A group is a collection of related device users who share commonly configured properties. Administering users as a group is more efficient than administering individual users because properties can be set, applied, or changed simultaneously for all members of the group.

You can assign group properties, such as software configurations or IT policies, to a group using the Administration Console.

If you remove a user account from a group, the account name remains in the global list of user accounts but it does not appear in the group list.
