Walkthrough

1. Sign in

Open GMS and sign in with an authorized account. After login, the management screen displays a navigation tree on the left.

2. Understand the hierarchy

GMS organizes managed entities into levels:

  • System — top-level administration, including users and accounts.
  • Account — groups related locations, such as locations in the same region.
  • Location — represents an individual managed site beneath an account.
  • Devices — product-specific devices may appear beneath a location.

A system may contain any number of accounts, and each account may contain any number of locations.

3. Choose working scope

Select System, an Account, or a Location in the tree to work at that level. Available tabs and actions depend on selected entity, enabled products, and user permissions.

4. Scope reports

Hierarchy supports reporting at different levels. Run broader reports for an account, or drill into one location for site-specific results.

Key takeaways

  • GMS centralizes management across Greenwald products.
  • System → Account → Location hierarchy controls navigation and reporting scope.
  • Accounts and locations can model geography or another operational grouping.
  • Your screen may look different from the training video.
