First time post, hope im in the right section,

 

We are trying to have the Google Device app to put assigned devices in the correct OU but this is for our paraprofessionals. Since we cant create a role named that, the only other clean option is if I can have a filter under “OrgUnitPath Translation Map” that will pull the user from the correct OU and then push the device to that same OU. 

 

At the moment since we dont use parents/guardians role I have a filter put them all their and then have the assigned devices go to the correct OU.

 

Thanks!

Hey ​@BMaus 9906176 whsd, it’s great that you’re getting involved and feel free to ask away!

 

In terms of your workflow, I do see that you were able to get the role filter applied and it looks like the assets are navigating to that OU. Are you wondering how this process can be more efficient than the role option? Depending on how many assets there are, you might be able to apply the Assets directly in the filter for which assets needs to be migrated.

 

Another option that may work is creating a custom field for paraprofessional and applying this custom field to the assets and filtering that way. Could also utilize a location specific or asset owner for these users.

 

A lot of good options that you can choose from, you’ll essentially just need to find a unique value for these assets and hopefully, my post gave you some additional options to work with!


Hi ​@BMaus 9906176 whsd thank you for the post! It sounds like you’re right on target. You can filter by role as you’ve mentioned, likewise you could even filter off of a custom field that you have applied to any of your given users or assets. Please see the below resource for further information on write back for Google. I’ve also provided a link to setting up custom fields.
