This feature helps you create groups and subgroups, and apply a policy to a group (or a subgroup). A group includes a number of endpoints and all the endpoints within a group share the same policy. You can delete or rename a group or set different policies for different groups. You can also move endpoints from one group to another. You can export or import groups from one EPS server to another along with policies assigned to them.
