Profiles, Assignment and Deployment

Automated Deployment

The Manage page defines profiles that specify a set of software titles and versions to be deployed to machines. Multiple profiles can be assigned to each machine. Changes to a profile affect all machine IDs assigned that profile. Attributes for each profile include:

• Auto approve
• "In development" status for profiles for testing
• Auto run scan
• Default deployment schedule

Attributes for each software title in the profile include:

• Version
• Always deploy latest version available
• Language

See Deployment Options.

Manual Deployment

Independent of profiles, any software title and version in your local Software Catalog can be manually deployed to multiple machines, either by software title or by machine.

Setting Credentials

A credential is required to install software using Software Deployment and Update. This is the same credential set using Agent > Manage Agents.
