Assigning target groups to other target groups.

About this task

Use the Manage Group Membership function to assign target groups to other target groups thus creating a group hierarchy. Target groups are assigned the permissions and policies of the direct target groups they are a member of. These permissions are known as their standard or normal set of permissions. For more information about how policies and permissions are granted by the Policy Engine, see How policies are determined for a remote control session.

To add target groups to target groups, complete the following steps:
