Managing Groups

Groups let you assign applications and configurations to many endpoints at once. A group can hold Windows, Android, and Apple endpoints, together with the configurations and applications they should get. When an endpoint joins a group, it gets everything assigned to the group. You manage groups under Management → Groups.

Create a group

1. Go to Management → Groups and click New.
2. Enter a Group name and, optionally, a Description.
3. Click Create.

The group opens. Add endpoints, configurations, and applications as described in Add endpoints, configurations, and applications.

The group list

Column	What it shows
Name and Description	The group’s name and description.
Type	Icons for the platforms the group holds: Windows, Android, and Apple.
Endpoints, Configurations, Applications	How many of each the group holds. Click a number to open the group.
Updated	When the group was last changed.

Add endpoints, configurations, and applications

Open a Group to manage its Endpoints, Configurations, and Applications. Each platform — Windows, Android, and Apple — has its own Endpoints, Configurations, and Applications list.

1. Open the group and select the platform and the type, for example Windows → Endpoints.
2. Click Assign.
3. Select the items under Available and move them to Assigned. Move items back to remove them from the group.
4. Click View to return to the list of assigned items.

Your changes are saved right away. There is no separate save step.

On the Endpoints tab you can use the endpoint filters, including your saved filters, to find the endpoints to add. This works for Windows, Android, and Apple. See Windows Endpoint List and Apple Endpoints Overview. On the Apple → Configurations tab, DDM configurations have a DDM badge.

You can also add endpoints to a group from the endpoint list: select the endpoints and choose Add to group.

You can also assign a configuration from the configuration itself. Open a Windows, Android, or Apple configuration and go to its Assignment tab. From there, assign the configuration to a group or directly to individual endpoints.

Limitations

• You can’t copy or move endpoints from one group to another. Assign them to the new group, then remove them from the old one.

Groups from the installer

When you install the CapaOne Agent with MSI, you can add the endpoint to one or more groups during enrollment with the MSI property GROUPS. Separate several group names with a semicolon (;). If a group with that name doesn’t exist when the endpoint enrolls, CapaOne creates it as a Windows group.

You can also assign groups in a Windows enrollment configuration. See Windows Enrollment.

Edit or delete a group

Open the group’s menu and select Edit to change its name or description, or Delete to delete it. Endpoints that got configurations or applications only through the group no longer get them.
