Example
- If you change the definition of the Smart Group by adding an attribute criterion to limit the policy to only those who do not have an AWSAdmin attribute and deploy a passcode policy to USENGINEERS, the policy will be deployed only to those devices which belong to US Engineering users without AWSAdmin attribute. Rest of the devices do not get this passcode policy.
- With the above attribute criteria, a subset of US Engineers who have the AWSAdmin attribute are no longer eligible for some of the policies deployed before making the change. Also, some policies that are not applicable for AWSAdmin group will still remain in place, unless that policy is removed from the appropriate devices.
