After you create your device groups, you can save time by connecting device groups to user groups or connecting policy groups to device groups. Access to all resources is implicitly denied by default.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning:<\/strong> \n

Binding a user group to a device group will create a local user account for each user in the user group on each device in the device group. Adding a large number of user accounts to a device may prevent it from operating correctly.<\/p>\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To grant access, user groups must be explicitly bound to resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Assigning a Policy Group to a Device Group<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      You can save time by creating a policy group, adding multiple policies to it, and assigning the group to a device group. For example, you can create a policy group for macOS devices called Mac Security that uses JumpCloud\u2019s Lock Screen policy to automatically turn on the screen saver if a device is inactive for a specific amount of time. The policy group could also contain a policy to control Apple App Store purchases to allow only updates to existing apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A policy group is especially useful in implementing security or compliance-related issues on managed devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
