Group assignment rules

Group assignment rules

You can use group assignment rules to automatically place endpoints into custom groups based on their installer ID, IP address, or operating system.

EMS does not apply group assignment rules to a domain-joined endpoint if it belongs to an imported Active Directory (AD) domain in EMS. The endpoint stays in the organization unit to which it belongs in the AD domain tree, even if it matches a group assignment rule.

Group assignment rules only apply for endpoint in workgroups. EMS automatically places endpoints that do not apply for any group assignment rule into the Other Endpoints group.
