User Custom Group

User Custom Groups allow you to manually organize Active Directory (AD) or workgroup users into static groups for easier management and task targeting. Whether users are from a single domain or spread across multiple domains, you can create clear, structured groups to streamline deployments, configurations, and other activities. Each user can belong to multiple custom groups, offering flexibility in assigning tasks based on different needs. Static user group can be created by the technician with administrator role access only.

Create a User custom group

To create a static user custom group,

  • Navigate to Admin > Custom Groups > Create New Group.
  • Select User as the group type.
  • Enter a Group Name and Description.
  • Choose the required users to be added to the group.
  • Click Create Group.

 

User Custom groups

Note: The user based custom groups can be created only by Administrators role.

To ease the process of manually grouping the users, the managed users can be selected using:

  • The list of users with user and domain name search filter.
  • The tree view structure of domains.
  • Import csv option. The csv should contain the name of the computer followed by the domain name as explained below: [User Name, Domain Name (Eg: administrator, companyOrg)].
