Users with company-wide and group-specific access can be granted permission to manage device templates. Company-wide users can manage all device templates within the IXON Cloud company, while group-specific users can only manage the device templates that are within their respective group(s) and underlying subgroups. This enables you to delegate template management to each department, customer, or other group you have in your IXON Cloud company.

1. Go to Admin > Roles and add a new group-specific role or edit an existing group-specific role.
2. Make sure the role has the permissions Manage devices and Manage device templates.
   • The former permission is a requirement for the latter permission.
   • Users with this role can manage device templates within their group and underlying subgroups. They cannot manage device templates in parent groups or device templates that are company-wide.
   • Users with device-specific access cannot manage device templates.
3. If you haven't already, first create one or multiple groups within your IXON Cloud company.
   • For detailed help, see User management setup guide.
   • For instructions only, see How to use groups.
4. To create a new group-specific device template, follow the support article and select the group during creation.
   • Group-specific users with access to only a single group do not see this option. Their device template is automatically created within their group.
5. To add an existing device template to a group, simply edit it and select a group. For specific instructions, see How do I add a device template to a group?.
   • Existing device templates are company-wide and those cannot be managed by a group-specific user.
