How to Use Bulk Action Limits in SOTI MobiControl

Control the number of devices impacted by a single device action.

About this task

Configure Bulk Action Limits to control the number of devices affected by a single bulk operation. These limits can be set at the role, group, or user level, ensuring that users inherit restrictions based on their assigned roles or groups.

Here are some key uses of Bulk Action Limits:

  • Preventing Overload: By setting limits, you can prevent users from making changes to too many devices at once, which can help avoid system overloads.
  • Enhanced Security: Limits can be set to ensure that only authorized users can perform bulk actions on a large number of devices, reducing the risk of accidental or malicious changes.
  • Operational Efficiency: Helps in managing and organizing bulk operations more effectively, ensuring that changes are made in a controlled manner.

Procedure

To configure a Bulk Action Limit:
  1. From the main menu of the SOTI MobiControl web console, as administrator, select Users and Permissions.
  2. From the Users and Permissions panel, select the Users, Groups, or Roles tab.

    • Enter a value in the General Limit text box to change the limits for all bulk actions at once.
    • Add a value in the text box next to each action to set specific bulk limits for individual actions.
    • If needed, you can revert all limits to Unlimited by selecting the Reset to Default Value button.

Results

When a user attempts to make bulk changes to more devices than their authorized limit, they receive a notification about the imposed restrictions.
