Chapter 6. Inventory groups

download PDF

Inventory groups allow you to select specific systems and group them together. You can view and manage the individual Inventory groups and the system membership of each group. In addition, you can filter your system lists across applications by Inventory groups. You can also manage user access to specific Inventory groups to enhance security.

Inventory groups have the following characteristics:

  • Inventory groups are only for systems.
  • You cannot add Inventory groups as children of another Inventory group.
  • Each system can belong to only one Inventory group.
  • Using Inventory groups is not mandatory; systems that are not assigned to specific Inventory groups can remain unassigned.
