Policy by Device Group

The Device Groups feature supports allows you to define policies that apply to devices associated with the group. This policy will simplify the management of groups of devices that are defined by you and can be configured both by Device Family and Device Model for each group. Devices can belong to multiple groups and inherit settings from all the groups it is associated with. Priority for Inheritance across multiple groups is configured directly on the device status page.
