Overview

This node operation creates a device collection with specified devices in Aruba Central Next Gen under the Scope Management resource. It is useful for organizing devices into collections for easier management and configuration. For example, a user can create a collection named 'Production Devices' and add multiple device serial numbers to it for centralized monitoring or configuration.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a device collection named 'Production Devices' with devices having serial numbers SN123456 and SN789012.
2. Organize devices into collections based on their roles or locations for streamlined network management.
