Using Global Groups for Group Configuration
To apply group configurations using the AWMS global groups feature, first navigate to the
Groups > List
configuration page. Click the
Add
button to add a new group, or click the name of the group to edit settings for
an existing group. Click the
Duplicate
icon to create a new group with identical configuration to an existing
group.
To have global group status, a group must contain no devices; accordingly, access points can never be added to
a global group. Global groups are visible to users of all roles, so they may not contain devices, which can be
made visible only to certain roles.

To set a group as a global group, navigate to the
Groups > Basic
configuration page for an existing or a newly
created group. Select
Yes
for the
Is Global Group
field under the global group section. When the change is
saved and applied, the group will have a check box next to fields on the
Basic, Security, SSIDs, AAA Servers,
Radio, Cisco WLC Config, LWAPP APs, PTMP/WiMAX, Proxim Mesh
and
MAC ACL
tabs.

for a Global Group
When a global group configuration is pushed to subscriber groups, all settings are static except for settings
with the checkbox selected; for fields with checkboxes selected, the value or setting can be changed on the
corresponding tab for each managed group. In the case of the
Groups > SSIDs
configuration page, override
options are available only on the
Add
configuration page (navigate to the
Groups > SSIDs
configuration page
and click the
Add
button). Global templates are also configurable as part of global groups; see
“Creating and
Using Templates” on page 175
for more information.
Once global groups have been configured, groups may be created or configured to subscribe to a particular
global group. Navigate to the
Group > Basic
configuration page of a group and locate the
Use Global Groups
section. Select the
Yes
radio button and select the name of the global group from the drop-down menu. Then
click
Save and Apply
to push the configuration from the global group to the subscriber group.
