Organizational Units

Organizational Units (OUs) are containers for devices. A device can belong to multiple OUs, and OUs can hold their own template assignments and variable overrides — so the same template applied at the OU level reaches every device in that OU without per-device wiring. Read about the layering model in Organizational Units and Policy Chain.

OUs list

Each card shows an OU’s name, status, device count, and creation date. The … menu on each card lets you Rename, Disable, or Delete the OU. Click anywhere else on the card to open its detail page.

Click + Create OU in the top-right to add a new OU. You only need a name; you can assign devices, templates, and overrides afterwards.

OU detail

The header shows the OU’s name, status badge, creation date, and a Sync OU button that pushes the current computed configuration to every device in this OU in a single batch — handy when you change a shared template and want every member device to pick it up at once.

Cards on the page:

OU Information — name, status, device count, and timestamps. Assigned Devices — chips for every device in the OU. The × on each chip removes the device from this OU (it remains enrolled, just no longer a member). + Add Device opens a picker with the org’s other devices. Assigned Templates — every template that applies to this OU. + Assign Template picks one to add; the trash icon removes the assignment. Variable Overrides — variable values that override the organization-level value for devices in this OU. + Add Override opens the variable picker. OU-level overrides are themselves overridable at the device level — see Variables for the full chain.
