Create and Manage Groups
A group is a collection of similar assets under a single administration. You can group assets and authorize a single user or group of users to control the asset group.
Create asset groups based on your business needs. For example, you can create an asset group that contains all electrocardiogram (EKG) machines in a hospital. Alternatively, you may want to group the different assets present on a single floor under one group.
You can control access to individual assets by creating asset groups, and assigning authorized users to each asset group. Let us take two examples of Forklifts and HVAC asset groups:
-
Asset Group: Forklifts
-
Assets: Forklift_1, Forklift_2, Forklift_3
-
Users: Manager, Forklift_Operator
-
-
Asset Group: HVACs
-
Assets: HVAC_1, HVAC_2, HVAC_3
-
Users: Manager, HVAC_Operator
-
In the preceding scenario, the Manager will be able to access all the assets. The Forklift_Operator can only see forklift assets and the HVAC_Operator can only see HVAC assets.
Create a New Group
You can subdivide a hierarchical organization into groups. Groups can in turn contain sub-groups.
