Browsing for targets

About this task

Use the Browse targets action to browse through the defined target groups for a specific target. When you select Browse targets, an expandable list of target groups is displayed. Select a target group to see a list of the target members. If you do not have permission to access the targets in the selected target group, no targets are displayed. The permission to access targets is derived from permissions links made between any groups that a user and target belong to. For details, see the IBM® BigFix® Remote Control Administrator's Guide.
