Administrator Guide Part IV: Tags
Tags
The Tags screen will list all the currently ‘active’ tags within the Silverback Environment, even if they do not have any devices associated with them. After the first installation of Silverback Administrators will see System Tags for all supported operating systems. To proceed let's clarify first the two different Tag types that are existing in Silverback and their purpose.
Tag Types
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| SYSTEM | System Tags will automatically deployed to the corresponding devices types. They can't be deleted and have a hard coded Auto Population value. In System Tags only minimum settings should be configured which will affect all devices within the company. This could be for example Passcode settings, Root and Intermediate Certificates, Companion settings or Lockdown settings. |
| Admin | Admin Tags should be created and deployed to flexible configurations for Areas, Departments within the company. E.g the Marketing department will receive a different configuration than the Production department, so you can easily two separated Tags for both departments and deploy them based on Active Directory Groups with a LDAP filter. |
