The Device Manager slider is used to create a grouping hierarchy and add one or more network functions (NFs) to this grouping schema.

You can assign individual devices to a network function (NF) group, which can contain a standalone device, high-availability (HA) pair, or device cluster that is managed by Oracle Communications Session Element Manager. Device groups can exist in a grouping hierarchy that can be set up to contain any number of levels according to the needs of your organization. For example, you can structure your hierarchy based on geography. User permissions can be managed based on operation and device group privileges. Summary and detailed information can be displayed for individual devices and device groups.

The Device Manager slider contains the following nodes and folder nodes:

• Devices—Add, manage, and remove managed devices.
• Device Groups—With the appropriate permissions, you can add, manage, rename, and remove groups.
• Bulk Device Deployment—Add, remove, and manage devices and bulk device deployments belonging to a cluster that share the same hardware, software, and configuration.
