A new group will be created. A device can be a member of more than one group.

Reassign Device Groups

MDM lets you reassign device from one group to another. When the devices is moved from one group to another, then the profiles and apps(associated with the existing group) previously distributed to the device are automatically removed. The devices on being moved from the old group to the new group, are automatically distributed the profiles and apps(which are associated with the new group). Follow the steps below to move the device from one group to another:
