Set up device groups in the Admin Center
For accounts with GoToAssist, you can create, edit, view, and delete device groups. Device groups contain sets of devices within GoToAssist and are associated with a set of experts. In GoToAssist, experts can set a device group to Serve as Company which includes the additional options that existed in Remote Support companies. Once device groups have been added, experts can assign devices to the groups with filtering, drag-and-drop, or with a bulk edit. You can also set whether sessions on the devices in the group can be recorded and how you want your GoToAssist software updated.
