Device Group Manager

Use the Device Groups Manager to add device groups, edit device
groups, and remove device groups. When you add a new device group,
you can create a full access policy for the group. See

Policies for

Access Control

(on page 149).

Device Groups Overview

Device groups are used to organize devices into a set. The device group
will become the basis for a policy either allowing or denying access to
this particular set of devices. See

Adding a Policy

(on page 150).

Devices can be grouped manually, using the Select method, or by
creating a Boolean expression that describes a set of common attributes,
using the Describe method.

If you used Guided Setup to create categories and elements for nodes,
some means to organize devices along common attributes have already
been created. CC-SG automatically creates default access policies
based on these elements. See

Associations, Categories, and

Elements

(on page 21) for details on creating categories and elements.

To view device groups:

Choose Associations > Device Groups. The Device Groups Manager
window appears. A list of existing device groups is displayed on the
left, while details about the selected device group appear in the main
panel.

ƒ A list of existing device groups is displayed on the left. Click a

device group to view the details of the group in the device group
manager.

ƒ If the group was formed arbitrarily, the Select Devices tab will be

displayed showing a list of devices in the group and a list of
devices not in the group.
