How to Assign Profiles to Devices Filtered by Views or Search in IGEL UMS

If you need to assign a profile in the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) to a group of devices which meet a certain criterion, you can proceed in the following way.

1. Define a view which filters the clients with a certain criterion (e. g. all devices which contain a USB storage hotplug).
   

2. Right-click the view to open the context menu.
   

3. Click Assign profiles to the thin clients of the view.
   The Assign profiles window opens.
   

4. Select the relevant profile (e. g. the profile which allows USB storage hotplug).
   

5. Click to move it from the left to the right column.
   

6. Confirm the setting with OK.

In the same way you can assign profiles to devices of a search result:

1. Right-click the search result to open the context menu.
   

2. Click Assign profiles to the thin clients of the search.
   The Assign profiles window opens.
   

3. Select the relevant profiles and click to move them from the left to the right column.
   

4. Confirm the setting with OK.

→ To cancel the profile assignment, click Detach profiles from the device of the view or search. 

You can also assign profiles to views or search results automatically and regularly as an administrative task.
