Managing Spaces

Spaces enable you to designate device groups for management by different administrators (delegated administration). The administrator for a space can define the configurationsClosedcollections of settings that you send to devices. and policiesClosedsets of requirements and compliance actions defined for devices. applied to the devices in the space. After you create the spaces, you can assign each space to the relevant or appropriate administrator. You cannot edit or delete the default space.

The user can view only the spaces assigned and not all the available spaces. As of now, this setting applies to the Devices, Device Groups, Apps, App Inventory, Content, Configurations, Policies, and Certificate Management modules only. Spaces selected from the Spaces list while viewing any of these modules are saved as administrator preferred default selection for that module. These preferences are not only saved for the current login session, but also for the future sessions.

The spaces you create inherit all configurations from the default space. Therefore, any configurations you create later in the default space are eligible to be applied to the other spaces. However, changes made to an existing configuration are not inherited.

The spaces you create receive copies of only those policies that exist in the default space at that time. Any policies you create later in the default space apply only to the default space.

Create the rules that define which devices are in the space. These rules can be filtered using the applicable operators, including the "begins with", "ends with", "contains", "does not contain", "does not begin with", "does not end with", "is less than", "is greater than", "is in range", "is equal to", and "is not equal to" operators. The rules can be nested together using the ANY (OR) or ALL (AND) options. The accuracy of the rules can be reviewed using the text that appears at the end of the rules.

The Ivanti Neurons for MDM Administrator portal displays the number of duplicate user groups and the corresponding number of GUIDs to identify duplicate groups, when the User Group Name attribute is selected in the rule builder. Also, a table under this rule displays the list of the duplicate user groups and their details such as User Group Name, GUID, Source, and distinguished name (DN).

Cloning a Configuration or a Policy

You can clone a configuration or a policy if you need to duplicate them with a few differences. You can also associate the cloned configurations or policies to different device groups. All the policies can be cloned within a space. All configurations, except the user-provided Identity Certificate and Threat Defense, can be cloned within a space. The following configurations can also be cloned across spaces from the default space:

  • iOS Restrictions
  • Web Clip
  • Certificate
  • Passcode
  • SCEP (iOS and Windows)
  • Identity Certificate (dynamically generated)

  • The name of a configuration or a policy type should be unique in a space. All other properties of a configuration or a policy can be cloned.
