Creating a static group

You can create an empty static group and add workloads to it.

Alternatively, you can select workloads and create a new static group from your selection.

You cannot create device groups within any All-type group, such as the root group All devices, or built-in groups like Machines with agents > All, Microsoft 365 > your organization > Users > All users.
