User Groups

User groups allow you to organize individual users into groups. Users in Access Manager Plus can be grouped based on the connection type, or based on the OUs or groups during import from the Active Directory. User groups are helpful as they allow you to set preferences or assign functions in bulk instead of each user individually. Use the group functionality to share sessions and connections with users in bulk.
