How to Assign Objects in the IGEL UMS Web App
In the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Web App, you can assign an object (e.g. file, profile, app, etc.) to a device or device directory.
Menu path: UMS Web App > Devices
To assign (or to detach) an object, proceed as follows:
In the UMS Web App > Devices, select the desired directory / device and click
Assign object.
It is not possible to assign an object to the root directory "Devices".
Select the required object and use the arrow buttons or drag & drop.
Decide whether the new settings are to take effect immediately or at the next reboot of the device.

Assigned Objects
Objects can be assigned directly or indirectly:
Directly assigned objects have been assigned to an individual device or directory.
Indirectly assigned objects have been "inherited" via the directory structure.
→ To view all assigned objects, i.e. directly and indirectly assigned objects, select the desired directory / device and go to Assigned Objects.
All implicitly assigned apps, i.e. apps assigned to devices via a profile, are displayed directly under this profile.
