Assign targets to target groups

When targets are registered in the server, they can then be assigned to target groups. The policies and permissions that are set for the groups are used to determine what the target members can or cannot do during a remote control session.

You can use the Manage group membership feature to add targets to target groups thus making them members of the selected groups. This action must be performed after a new target is made known to the server. For more information about creating target groups, see Creating target groups. For more information about how policies and permissions are granted for remote control sessions, see How policies are determined for a remote control session.

You can also assign targets to target groups by creating target membership rules. The rules can be used to automatically assign targets to specific groups when they contact the BigFix® Remote Control server. For more information about target membership rules, see Use rules to define target membership.
