It is the responsibility of the Security Policy Administrator to add asset groups to SPP.
NOTE: The Asset Groups tab is only available if SPP is joined to SPS.
To asset groups and dynamic asset groups, you can only add the assets that support session management. Assets that do not support session management include but are not be limited to Directory assets. When you create the asset, if session management is supported, an Enable Session Request check box is available in the Management tab. For more information, see For more information, see Supported platforms.. This section lists SPP and SPS support by platform.
To add a dynamic asset group
-
Navigate to Security Policy Management > Asset Groups.
-
From Asset Groups, click

In the New Asset Group dialog, provide information in each of the tabs.
