Creating groups to manage your site
3
By default, every computer in your account is placed into a group called Default. You can create
other groups to place them in instead.
Why use groups?
Groups help you manage large numbers of computers or computers that use different security
settings (defined in policies). Groups are particularly helpful in larger organizations or
companies that are widely distributed geographically. Placing similar computers into a single
group enables you to view and manage security issues for the group separately from the other
computers in your account.
For example, you might place all laptops used by traveling sales representatives into a single
group called Sales Team. Then you can configure special security settings for those computers
to provide greater protection against threats in unsecure networks such as airports and hotels.
You can also track the number of detections on those computers through more frequent reports
and adjust the security settings as needed. See
User groups on page 18 for an illustration.
How can I manage groups?
Click the Groups + Policies tab to display the groups in your organization and the policies
assigned to them. If you have not created any groups or policies, only the
Default group and the
SonicWALL Default policy are displayed.

The Default group
Until you create additional groups, all computers where you install your security services are
assigned to the
Default group. You cannot change the name of the Default group.
Computers are assigned to a group when protection services are installed. You can also move
computers to different groups using the
Computers page.
