Class: JSS::Group

Inherits:

Includes:
Creatable, Criteriable, Updatable
Defined in:
lib/jss-api/api_object/group.rb,
lib/jss-api.rb

Overview

This is the parent class of the smart/static group objects in the JSS namely, ComputerGroup, MobileDeviceGroup, and UserGroup

It provides methods for working with the membership of static groups and, by including Criteriable, the criteria for smart groups.

When changing the criteria of a smart group, use the #criteria attribute, which is a Criteria instance.

Subclasses must define the constant MEMBER_CLASS which indicates Ruby class to which the group members belong (e.g. JSS::MobileDevice)

Constructor Details

#initialize(args = {}) ⇒ Group

When creating a new group in the JSS, you must call .new with a :type key and a value of :smart or :static, as well as a :name and the :id => :new
