Creating device groups

A device group is a group of devices that have common attributes, such as device model and manufacturer, OS type and version, service provider, and whether the device is owned by your organization or by the user. 

BlackBerry UEM

 automatically moves devices into or out of the device group based on the device attributes that you define.

You can use device groups to apply different sets of policies, profiles, and apps to specific devices assigned to various individual users. For example, you can use a device group to apply a specific IT policy to all devices running 

BlackBerry 10

 OS, or to all 

HTC EVO

 devices running 

Android OS

 7.0 or later on the 

T-Mobile

 network.

Policies, profiles, and apps assigned to a device group take priority over those assigned to a user or a user group. However, you cannot assign activation profiles or user certificates to device groups.

Device groups do not include 

BlackBerry

 OS (version 5.0 to 7.1) devices. Even if you create a device group query that would logically include your 

BlackBerry

 OS devices, they are not included in the device group.
