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:

  1. 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".



  2. Select the required object and use the arrow buttons or drag & drop.


  3. Decide whether the new settings are to take effect immediately or at the next reboot of the device.


1Name of the directory / deviceName of the directory / device to which the object is assigned
2Assignable objects

Shows all objects that can be assigned to the directory / device.

The following objects can be assigned:

: Apps (for IGEL OS 12 devices). An app version to be assigned is chosen in the selection list that shows all versions of the selected app available under Apps.

Implicit App Assignment via a Profile

An app is automatically assigned via a profile configuring this app. Exception: IGEL OS Base System app

An implicit app assignment is overwritten if you assign an app explicitly, i.e. if you select an app as an object in the Assign object dialog.

For more information, see How to Create and Assign Profiles in the IGEL UMS Web App.

: Profiles. For general information on profiles, see Profiles in the IGEL UMS. See also Configuration - Centralized Management of Device Settings in the IGEL UMS Web App.

: Priority profiles. For details, see Priority Profiles in the IGEL UMS.

: Firmware customizations. For details, see Firmware Customizations in the IGEL UMS.

: Template keys and value groups. For details, see Template Profiles in the IGEL UMS.

: Files. For details, see Files - Registering Files on the IGEL UMS Server and Transferring Them to Devices.

  • the selected object type
  • the entry in the text field 

The above filter criteria are linked with the operator AND.

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.
