3. Select the Create Full Access Policy for Group checkbox to create a
policy for this device group that allows access to all devices in the
group at all times with control permission.

repeat these steps. Optional.
5. If you have finished adding device groups, click OK to save your
changes.
To add a device group with the Describe Devices option:
1. Click the Describe Devices tab in the Device Group: New panel. In
the Describe Devices tab, you can create a table of rules that
describe the devices you want to assign to the group.
2. Click the Add New Row icon
to add a row to the table.
3. Double-click the cell created for each column to activate a drop-down
menu. Select the rule components you want to use from each list.
Prefix - Leave this blank or select NOT. If NOT is selected, this
rule will filter for values opposite of the rest of the expression.
Category - Select an attribute that will be evaluated in the rule. All
categories you created in the Association Manager are available
here. If any blade chassis has been configured in the system, a
Blade Chassis category is available by default.
Operator - Select a comparison operation to be performed
between the Category and Element items. Three operators are
available: = (is equal to), LIKE (used for find the Element in a
name) and <> (is not equal to).
Element - Select a value for the Category attribute to be
compared against. Only elements associated with the selected
category will appear here (for example: if evaluating a
“Department” category, “Location” elements will not appear
here).
Rule Name - This is a name assigned to the rule in this row. It is
not editable; it is used for writing descriptions in the Short
Expression field.
4. To add another rule, click the Add New Row icon
, and then
make the necessary configurations. Configuring multiple rules will
allow more precise descriptions by providing multiple criteria for
evaluating devices.
5. The table of rules only makes available criteria for evaluating nodes.
To write a description for the device group, add the rules by Rule
Name to the Short Expression field. If the description requires only a
single rule, type that rule's name in the field. If multiple rules are
being evaluated, type the rules into the field using a set of logical
operators to describe the rules in relation to each other:
