Using Global Groups for Group Configuration

To apply group configurations using the AirWave Global Groups feature, first go to the Groups > List
configuration page. Select Add to add a new group, or select the name of the group to edit settings for an existing
group. Select the Duplicate icon (usually near the last column of the list) 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.

created group. Select Yes for the Is Global Group field under the Global Group section.

When a Global Group configuration is pushed to Subscriber Groups, all settings are static except for settings

options are available only on the Add configuration page (go to the Groups > SSIDs configuration page and
select Add). Global templates are also configurable as part of Global Groups; for more information, see
