Managing Device Groups

You can organize your devices into groups to represent a logical grouping of your devices, such as grouping devices by network segment or security level.

When you create device groups, the groups are shown in the device tree for the Dashboard and the Risk, Cleanup and Change browsers. When you select a group, the charts and tables show the data for the members of the group.

The options in the menu change according to which objects are selected in the tree. If you select more than one type of object, the menu is disabled.

You can:

  • Delete one or more devices
    1. In either the Vendors or Groups tree, select the devices that you want to delete.
    2. Click and click Delete.
  • Manage devices in groups
    • Create new groups
    1. In the Groups tree, select the parent group for the new group. If Multi-Domain is implemented, you can add groups under the each domain, but not directly under the All Devices group.
      1. Enter a unique name for the new group in Group name and click Save.

      Each group directly under the same parent group must have a unique name. If you want to rearrange the groups after they are created, you must delete and re-add the groups that you want to move.

    • Rename groups
      1. In the Groups tree, select the group to rename.
      2. Edit the name and click Save.
    • Delete groups
      1. In the Groups tree, select the group to delete
      2. Click and click Delete.
    • Add and remove devices from groups
      1. In the Groups tree, select a group.
      2. Select the devices to move and use the and buttons to move them into or out of the group.

      You can also enter text into the search fields and press Enter or click to filter the lists of devices.

  • Change the admin credentials for all devices in a group
    1. In the Groups tree, select a group.
    2. Click and click Change Credentials.
    3. Enter and confirm any of the new credential details, including username, password or both. If relevant for the device, you can also enter and confirm a new enable password. If you leave fields blank, those details are not updated.
    4. Click Apply to save the new credentials for the devices in SecureTrack.

      Note: SecureTrack stops retrieving policies from the devices until you configure the matching credentials on the devices.

The changes to device groups take effect immediately and you can see the new device tree in the Dashboard and Browsers.
