About Distribution Collections
You can create Distribution Collections and associate user-created distributions to these Distribution Collections. You can then associate Distribution Collections with the Public Distributions button of specific device groups (via the device group properties). Distribution Collections can also be associated to individual user groups, allowing multiple groups to access specific Distribution Collections.
Note: Distribution Collections can be assigned to the Public Distribution button for default access by non-authenticated users. Authenticated users can have access to the Distribution Collections associated with the Public Distribution button, as well as the Distribution Collections associated with their user group.
