Add and remove asset groups for user group

The Asset Groups for User Group table in this page shows all asset groups currently assigned to the user group selected in the View and remove user groups page. The Unassigned Asset Groups table shows the other asset groups that are currently available.

o Parent Asset Group -- the fully qualified path name for the Parent Asset Group of this asset group. For example, if the asset group is a default model asset group, the Parent Asset Group is the Default Model Group, and the path shown is /Root Asset Group/Default Model Group.

o Description -- any text entered by a Axeda® Connected Product Management Applications user to describe the asset group.

o Model -- only for default model asset groups, this field shows the model for which the default group was created.

Notes:
You cannot remove the asset group selected as the "root" asset group for a Delegated Admin Unit from the user group created automatically for the DA Unit.

Only the asset groups to which you have privileges (that is, assigned to the user groups to which your login user name belongs) appear in the tables on this page. If you are logged in as the administrator of the Platform, you can see all asset groups.

If you are using dynamic group definitions to create asset groups, keep in mind that you must still control the assignment of asset groups to user groups MANUALLY. For convenience, you may want to create the Parent Asset Group for each dynamic group manually and then assign them to user groups to establish the initial security for dynamically created asset groups.

All users in the selected user group can view data from all assets in the selected asset groups. In addition, these users can add assets to and remove assets from the selected asset groups. If they have the appropriate privileges to the Axeda® Configuration application, the users in the selected user group can configure rules and actions for the asset groups.
