Creating a query group
Query groups allow you to save queries or reports without allowing other users access to them.
Creating a group allows you to categorize queries and reports by functionality as well as controlling
access. The list of groups you see within the ePolicy Orchestrator software is the combination of
groups you have created and groups you have permission to see.
You can also create private query groups while saving a custom query.
