Device Groups

To simplify the process of assigning devices to users, administrators can add devices to a device group and assign the group to multiple users. Once created, the device group is selectable when modifying an existing user or creating a new device user. When the user logs in, they can only view jobs from the devices included in that device group.

Device groups cannot be deleted while in use by any device user.

To create a device group:

1. Go to System > Device Groups and click Create New.
2. Enter a group name.
3. Enter a comment to identify this device group if required.
4. Select the devices to be included in the device group.
5. Click Save.
   The device group is now available to select when modifying or creating a new administrator with device user privileges enabled.

Device groups are also used in LDAP/RADIUS wildcard authentication. See Wildcard Admin Authentication.

Using device groups for multi-tenancy

You can assign specific admin profiles to a Device Group to generate reports based on the submissions for that group.

Example:

1. Use the steps above to create two device groups named DeviceGroup1 and DeviceGroup2.
2. Go to System > Administrator and click Create New to create a new administrator.
3. Name the user UserDevGroup1.
4. From the Admin Profile dropdown, select Device.
5. From the Device Group dropdown select DeviceGroup1 and click OK.
6. Create another user named UserDevGroup2 and assign it to DeviceGroup2.

The user named UserDevGroup1 can now generate reports for DeviceGroup1 and the user named UserDevGroup2 can create separate reports for DeviceGroup2.

The Scan Profile is shared across all devices and device groups.
