Computer Users

Computer Users section allows you to manage Users and User Groups. You can pair a user with a device to synchronize some user-specific settings. We recommend that you synchronize Users with Active Directory first. After creation of a new computer, you can pair the computer with a specific user. You can then search for the user to view details about computers assigned to them and their activity.
