Direct and Indirect Assignment of Objects in the IGEL UMS
Objects in the IGEL UMS 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.
Whether a profile is assigned directly or indirectly influences the priority of a profile, see Order of Effectiveness of Profiles.
Note also the following:
- If you assign a profile to a directory, it is indirectly assigned to each device in this directory including the subdirectories.
- If you subsequently move a device to this directory, the directory profiles will affect this device too.
- If you remove a device from this directory, the profile will no longer influence this device and the local settings for the device will be restored.
