Overview
An administrative group is a logical categorization of the servers that share something in common. For example, servers located in one region can belong to one administrative group. Similarly, servers having the same operating system can belong to another administrative group.
An administrative group allows you to organize your servers for better management. To manage the servers under a group, you assign a group admin. It is mandatory that you create an administrative group and attach servers to it.
A cloud or an organization administrator can optionally create a group administrator. A group administrator can manage one or more administrative groups assigned by the cloud or organization administrator. A group administrator can perform the following group management tasks only for the assigned administrative groups.
