Attach a software policy to a server or device group

You can attach a software policy and a server or device group in one of two ways:

Attaching a software policy to a server or device group—use this method when you want to associate a specific policy with one or multiple devices.
Attaching a server or device group to a software policy—use this method when you want to associate a specific server or device group with one or multiple software policies.

When you attach a software policy and a managed server or device group, the software policy is only associated with that server or group, not installed. To install the software, remediate the server against the policy. See Remediate servers with software policies.
