Device Groups

This section contains the following topics:

In the Device Groups page, you can create lists of devices that you want to treat in the same way. You can define and assign policies and configurations to the device groups. The following are the default device groups created by Ivanti Neurons for MDM:

  • All Devices
  • Android Devices
  • Android Enterprise Devices
  • iOS Devices
  • tvOS Devices
  • macOS Devices
  • Windows Devices

The details of the apps assigned to a specific device group is displayed under the Apps tab for the specific device group.

The tvOS device group is a subset of the iOS device group. Therefore, the configurations and policies applied to tvOS group might be overwritten by the iOS device group.

Adding a device group

Depending on the type of license you have, you can add a new device group based on rules to identify the devices with specific criteria. The devices matching the rules are displayed below the rule builder section. The rules can be nested together using the ANY (OR) or ALL (AND) options. The rules can be constructed using the following operators:

  • 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
  • is not equal to
  • is not blank
  • is blank

The Ivanti Neurons for MDM Administrator displays a 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).
