User groups in Remote Desktop Manager manage multiple users at the same time by grouping them. The management of permissions granted to user groups is quite similar to the corresponding notions for users, but instead of a single user, they apply to all users to which you have assigned the user groups.
This feature is only available with an advanced data source.
User groups in Devolutions Server
User groups in Devolutions Server are in fact links to Active Directory groups. By leveraging Active Directory integration you can easily define access rights for all domain users in your organization. Once a domain user log in the Devolutions Server data source, their user account will be created if needed and users rights will be controlled by the defined groups.
Please note that the Unsecured group permissions (the ones above the grid) are ignored. You must set them on each user individually.
For more information please see Devolutions Server user groups management.
