Managing Targets

Targets determine an OU or a group of managed devices on which users can perform the capabilities assigned to them based on their roles. Individual managed devices cannot be called targets and assigned to a role. When you assign a target to a role, all child OUs or groups under that target are automatically assigned to the role. Targets cannot be assigned to the default roles.

For a user, dashboards will display the targets assigned to roles with dashboard capabilities as well as targets assigned to roles with reporting capabilities. Similarly, reports will display targets assigned to roles with reporting capabilities as well as targets assigned to roles with dashboard capabilities.

Note: If you assign a group of target devices or users to a role for reporting and dashboard capabilities, the devices are not displayed in the reports.
