Creating a Site in Service Center

  • Last updated on

You create sites from within Service Center. The Create Site page guides you through the process of:

  • Providing site details.

  • Selecting the service delivery model.

  • Whether or not to deploy Device Managers.

  • Downloading the Onsite Manager installation package if required.

A site's service delivery model determines whether you:

  • Apply a single service plan to the entire site;

  • Apply service plans to groups; or

  • Bypass service plans altogether.

For more information on selecting a service delivery model, see Determining a Service Delivery Model.

When setting up a site, you can automatically deploy Device Managers to laptops. Barracuda RMM detects the laptop’s operating system and deploys either a Device Manager for Windows devices or a Device Manager for macOS devices.

Notes

  • When deploying Device Manager to macOS laptops, you must ensure that the site’s SSH account is on the sudoer’s list. If it is not, the deployment fails. To set up the site’s SSH credentials in Service Center, see Managing Site Credentials.

  • You cannot deploy a Device Manager to a macOS device that has a web proxy configured.
