About adding a software role to a device
If you've added a role to a device that is part of a deployment group, you might see new deployment
tasks generated if there is a package that is part of that deployment group that contains that role.
You may only add roles to a device that are allowed for that particular device type.
Adding a software role to a device
1. In the Software Deployment | Devices tree view, right-click the device and select Add Role .
The Add Role dialog box opens.
The Add Role dialog box displays only those roles that SiteConfig allows for the selected device
type.
2. Select the role or roles that you want to add to the device. Use Ctrl + Click or Shift + Click to
add multiple roles.
3. Click OK to save settings and close.
The new role or roles appear under the device in the tree view.
