Endpoints and Endpoint Groups
Endpoints belonging to an organization must be enrolled to the Central Management Console in order to manage them. There are multiple ways by which the endpoints can be added. The methods, Active Directory, Network Address and Work Group, can be used for enrolling endpoints within an organization's network and for endpoints outside the network (use the 'Create Email Link' to enroll external endpoints). Once the endpoints have been enrolled, polices can be created for the Secure Box environment applications on the endpoints as well as for protecting endpoint folders.
Enrolled
endpoints have to be added to 'Groups' in order to assign polices to
them. Even if you want to assign a
policy to a single endpoint, you still need to create a group for it.
Each policy contains a set of Secure Box
applications to be run on the endpoints.

The groups also serve the purpose of defining the quarantine period for endpoints belonging to it. During the quarantine period, a user cannot use the SB applications on the endpoints.
The 'Computer Management' section allows administrators with appropriate privileges to enroll endpoints and assign policies to them.
