An SDB term. An exception group is a way of managing a large list by using the principle of exclusion. An exception group contains only the excluded members or the exceptions. For example, suppose Mary is a supervisor with permission to control all of the phones in the organization, except those that belong to the president and the vice president. Instead of setting up a device group that contains all of the devices except the president’s phone and the vice-president’s phone, you could set up an exception group and assign it to Mary. This exception group would contain the phones of the president and vice president
