Group Ranking Policy

A device can be part of multiple groups depending on the rules associated with those groups. A device takes the policies of the group that is ranked higher than the other groups it belongs to. You have the ability to move group ranks higher and lower. In general, Dynamic groups are used for regular policy enforcement (for example: All Marketing Department users) and Static groups are used for exceptions (for example: Chief Marketing Office). So typically, Static groups would be ranked higher than Dynamic groups.
