Groups

Groups are a prescriptive management system that allows for arbitrary grouping of endpoints. You can manually add devices to the Device Group. 

The added devices are not tested against any conditions, unlike the devices in a Device Query. A single endpoint may exist in multiple groups concurrently.

This organizational structure is most useful when establishing permissions for users within the console.

Important Information

A device can be within as many groups as necessary; no limitations.

A device group can contain as many devices as desired.

There are no limits to how many device groups can be created.

Typical uses include phased approaches (testing, production), departments, or manual choices.

Guided walk-through: How to Create Groups Automatically During Agent DeploymentGuided walk-through: How to Create Groups Automatically During Agent Deployment

Automate the process of creating new device groups during agent deployment using specific command-line syntax.

This feature allows you to dynamically create groups and add devices to them during installation.

Command-Line Syntax: 

❶

To achieve automatic group creation, use the following command-line syntax during installation: 

msiexec.exe /i ResponderSetup.msi /GROUPLOCKNAME="<GroupName>" /qb
❷ Replace ResponderSetup.msi with the installer's actual name.
❸  Replace <GroupName> with the desired group name.
❹ Execution: The GROUPLOCKNAME parameter creates a new group if absent, adding the device to the group seamlessly.
