Assigning a target to target groups

About this task

After a target has registered with the BigFix® Remote Control Server, you can assign it to one or more target groups. When the target takes part in a remote control session, the policies and permissions that are defined for these groups are considered when the final session policies are derived. For more information about how policies are set for a session, see How policies are determined for a remote control session.
