User group management
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 for Devolutions Server and Devolutions Cloud.
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 workspace, their user account will be created if needed and users rights will be controlled by the defined groups.
Unsecured group permissions (the ones above the grid) are ignored. They must be set for each user individually.
