Einführung

If your devices are already managed by N-able N-central, you can deploy the Level agent through N-central's Automation Manager without touching each device individually.

⚙️ PREREQUISITES

Devices enrolled in N-able N-central
Access to N-central's Automation Manager
A Level account with permission to add devices

ℹ️ NOTE: This deployment method is provided as a convenience. We recommend testing on a small group of devices before deploying broadly.

Install via N-able N-central

Option 1: Import the Pre-Built Policy

Level provides a pre-built N-central automation policy (.amp file) that's ready to upload. Download it, review its contents, then follow the steps in the Run the Automation section below to assign it to devices.

📎 Download the Level N-central automation policy (.amp)

⚠️ WARNING: Review the contents of the .amp file before uploading to your N-central server.

Option 2: Build the Policy Manually

If you prefer to create the automation policy from scratch in Automation Manager:

Step 1: Create the Policy

In N-central, open Actions → Automation Manager.
Create a new policy and give it a name and description (e.g., "Install Level Agent").

Step 2: Add the PowerShell Script Step

In the categories pane, expand Extensions and drag Run PowerShell Script into the workspace, between the Input and Output sections.
Select the Script tab.

Step 3: Add the Install Command

In Level, open the Device Listing and click Add new device.
Select Windows and optionally select a device group.
Copy the install command from the One-line command tab.
Paste the command into the script area in N-central.
Replace the install key value in the command with the variable $Level_Group.

Step 4: Create the Input Parameter

Select Input at the top of the policy editor.
Create a new input parameter named Level_Group with the same display name.

Step 5: Link the Parameter to the Script

In the PowerShell Script block, select Input Parameters.
Create a new input parameter named Level_Group with the same display name.
In the Value field, click the link icon.
Select Input Parameters at the top and Level_Group at the bottom to link them.

Step 6: Upload the Policy

Select File → Upload to send the policy to your N-central server.

Running the Automation

Once the policy is uploaded (either the pre-built .amp or one you created manually):

In N-central, select the company and site you want to target.
Go to the All Devices page and select the devices where you want to install Level.
Choose Add Task → Run an Automation Policy.
Select the Level policy.
In the details page, paste your Level install key into the Level_Group field.

The PowerShell script runs within a few minutes. Devices appear in your Level Device Listing as the installs complete.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Devices ran the policy but aren't showing up in Level — what happened? Check N-central's task execution log for errors. Common causes: the PowerShell script was blocked by an execution policy or AV/EDR tool, or the device couldn't reach downloads.level.io. See AV/EDR False Detections and Offline Troubleshooting.
Can I target specific device groups in N-central? Yes — on the All Devices page, select only the devices you want to target before adding the task. You can also scope by company and site before selecting devices.
What does the Level_Group variable contain? It's your Level install key — the token that links devices to your Level account and optionally assigns them to a specific device group. Get it from Add new device → Windows in Level.
Can I deploy to macOS or Linux devices through N-central? The policy as described uses the Windows PowerShell installer. For macOS and Linux, you'd need to adapt the script to run the appropriate shell command for each platform.
