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

made visible only to certain roles.
