   CONFIG_ID This is the unique configuration ID copied from the 'Add Computers' section in the Backup Console.

   GROUP_NAME *Name of the group to which the computer will be assigned. Here the group name used in the example is 'Managers'.

   PVT_KEY If the installation is configured with a private encryption key, then this parameter should also be passed with the encryption key.

   DEVICE_TAG If the installation is configured with a device tag, the corresponding tag name must be passed for it to appear under the 'Email Address/Tag Name' column in the IDrive^® 360 dashboard.

   Note:
   In case the group name does not exist, a new group will be created with the submitted name and the computer will be assigned to it.
