Windows Configurations
Windows configurations control how CapaOne features behave on your Windows endpoints. You manage them under Windows → Configurations. There are two configuration types, each on its own tab:
| Tab | Configures | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| Privileges | Session and process elevation for standard users. See Privilege Manager Configuration Settings. | Privilege Manager |
| DriverInstaller | What end users see when drivers are installed. See Driver Installer Configuration. | Provision Manager |
You only see the tabs for the features your organization has.
Create a configuration
Section titled “Create a configuration”- Go to Windows → Configurations and click New.
- If you’re asked for a Configuration type, select the type you want.
- Enter a name and fill in the settings. Configuration names must be unique within a type.
- Click Create.
For step-by-step instructions per type, see Create a Privilege Manager Configuration and Driver Installer Configuration.
The configuration list
Section titled “The configuration list”| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The configuration name. Click it to open the configuration. |
| Updated By | Who changed the configuration last, and when. |
| Priority | The configuration’s priority within its type. Click it to change the order. |
| Endpoints | The number of endpoints the configuration is assigned to directly. |
| Groups | The number of groups the configuration is assigned to. |
The row menu has Assignment (Direct or Groups), Edit, Rename, and Delete.
Assign a configuration
Section titled “Assign a configuration”A configuration does nothing until it’s assigned. You can assign it directly to endpoints, or to groups so that every endpoint in the group gets it.
- Open the configuration and select the Assignment tab.
- Select Direct to assign endpoints, or Group to assign groups.
- Click Assign. Select the endpoints or groups under Available and move them to Assigned.
- Click View to return to the list of assigned items.
You can also assign configurations from a group’s page, and in an enrollment configuration so that new endpoints get them when they enroll.
See where a configuration is applied
Section titled “See where a configuration is applied”Open the configuration and select the Endpoints tab. For each endpoint you see:
- Status — Applied, or Not Applied if another configuration of the same type takes priority.
- Assignment — whether the endpoint has the configuration directly, through one or more groups, or both.
Select View groups on a row to see which groups give the endpoint the configuration.
Set the priority
Section titled “Set the priority”When an endpoint has more than one configuration of the same type, the configuration with the highest priority applies. Priority is ranked separately for Privileges and DriverInstaller configurations.
- On the configuration list, select the priority icon (Change priority for configurations), or click a configuration’s Priority bar.
- Drag the configurations into the order you want. Priority 1 is marked Highest Priority.
- Click Save.
A new configuration starts with the lowest priority. When you change the order, the affected endpoints recalculate their configurations. See Configuration Priority for how priority works across CapaOne.
Delete a configuration
Section titled “Delete a configuration”Open the row menu and select Delete. CapaOne tells you how many endpoints are affected before you confirm. Deleting a configuration also removes it from groups and enrollment configurations.
