Management Groups rules

Management Groups are defined through configurable rules sets that evaluate multiple device-specific attributes and properties to determine group membership.

For details of how to create and use Management Groups, refer to Management Groups.

The number of rules that a single Management Group can contain is variable because of many factors including rule type used. 1E recommends not exceeding 10,000 rules per rule-based Management Group.
