AirWatch organization groups allow the administrator to create and manage accounts at the user, user, and organisation levels.

Introduction

AirWatch Organization group allows the admin to create, manage and delete an individual user account or a group of accounts. A list of all user accounts is displayed. New user accounts can be created. User names and passwords can be altered. Associated mail accounts can be changed. Accounts can also be deleted from enrolled devices. Creating groups helps better organize enrolled devices, for instance, creating a group of users with a similar job profile. Organization level management helps users manage devices at a particular physical location if the organization has offices at multiple locations. Network settings, WiFi settings, POS device settings, and devices like printers can be managed at a particular location with Organization level management.

Users

This section explains creating and managing individual user accounts. Every user may have one or more devices. Every device is linked to a user under a user name during enrollment. Airwatch allows a feature called share device, which allows the device to be repurposed according to who is signed in. As the user login credentials are changed, the device is reconfigured by the process of “Check-ins” and “Checkouts” performed by the Airwatch app on the device. All accounts can be viewed under the list view, edited (by changing user name or password) or deleted. The configurations made affect different devices in different locations.
