Creating a static device group

This section describes how to create a static device group. Static groups contain a fixed set of devices that you manually add to or remove from the group. Static device groups must be either public or private.

Note
To create a public static device group, you must have Manage Public Device Group permissions. To obtain these permissions, contact your SA Administrator.

To create a static device group:

From the navigation pane, select Devices > Device Groups. The list of device groups appears in the Content pane. All the public device groups are under Public. All your private device groups are under your user name.
Navigate to the location where you want to create your group.
- To create a public group, select Public or an existing group under Public.
- To create a private group, select your user name or an existing group under your user name.
From the Actions menu, select Device Group > New Static Group.

This creates an empty device group named New Device Group (n), where n is a number based on the number of new device groups already in existence.
You can rename the device group by selecting it and either right clicking on it and selecting Rename or by selecting the Actions > Rename menu item.

After you create a static device group, you can add servers to the group. See Adding a server to a static device group below.
