Verdiem Surveyor 6 Administrator GuideOverview of administrative groupsGroups in Surveyor serve two important functions by providing:• A mechanism for role-based system security that allows you to assign group-levelpermissions and control administrator access to devices.For more details on role-based security and group-level permissions, see Configuringpermissions for delegated administration on page 38.• A logical way for you to organize the devices in the system to easily access and managesets of devices.Devices can be assigned to groups, either manually or through assignment rules that youcreate (see Assign devices to groups on page 65 and Configure group assignment ruleson page 35. Policies and groups have no direct relationship; you can assign policies todevices, but not to groups.You create groups on the Groups page (see Create administrative groups on page 33).When you create a group, you can specify a parent group to create nested groups.Surveyor provides a root My Organization group and a Default Group to start with. Newdevices that connect to the server and don’t otherwise meet any group assignment rulesthat you’ve set up appear in the Default Group.Strategies for creating groupsWhen you create groups for devices, you’ll want to consider how you are planning to applysecurity and role-based permissions for the groups.You might create groups based on geographic location or a particular business function,such as distributed administration. For example, you could create a Help Desk group thatcan wake or restart computers as needed.How you ultimately refine your group structure in the full Surveyor deployment depends onthe needs of your particular organization.You will likely determine your initial security groups during the two-week period in whichdevices connected to Surveyor are using the Baseline Data Collection policy. After you setup your initial security groups, you can then set assignment rules so that computers andother devices are placed into groups as they're added to the system. For details, seeConfigure group assignment rules on page 35.Managing administrative groups32
