Using Automation to Assign Dynamic Groups in ControlUp

It is currently only possible to automatically assign Dynamic Groups during installation of the Windows Agent, but there may be a similar possibility for Linux using the upcoming IGEL OS12 agent. Alternatively, API calls and scripts can be used to assign dynamic groups. UserVoice item https://controlup.uservoice.com/redirect/suggestions/46944511 has been created for this.

Good day , Happy Monday

Just wanted to quickly check, is it possible to do auto device group for macOS and Linux ?

Ref to the command that can be added to windows to add the device into a device group

Windows Agent Installation (controlup.com)

msiexec /i agentmanagersetup.msi /qn DEVREGCODE=<SampleCode> TENANT=<TenantName>.[sip.controlup.com](http://sip.controlup.com) ALLUSERS=1 PROXY=10.0.0.1:8080 PROXY_TEST_IP=1.2.3.4 GROUP=Finance ONLYSTARTONBOOT=1

so after the install I assume? Currently it can only be done manually or using the api’s. I have just created a dynamic tagging uservoice item for a different customer. https://controlup.uservoice.com/redirect/suggestions/46944511

Windows is during install. I think it’s possible with Linux as well, because it’s an option to specify device group with the upcoming IGEL OS12 agent in the app parameters. But we will need to check internally

Windows has this install command that during the install it will auto add the device to the device group but i wanted to know if its possible to do it for macOS and Windows

@member do you perhaps have a exp of the API. ?

I’ll DM you (don’t mind sharing but if we keep scripts public they might be outdated by the time people see it)

thank you.

So there is an option for Linux to do it during the installation but if you use that you can’t change it afterwards in the UI, hence it’s currently not documented. We will likely be changing this in the future to use tagging

If you’re fine with this limitation I can see if I can get you the parameter for the command line installer

Thats abit scary

Im going to try the API, thank you @member and @member for the quick replies
