Hi everyone, I’m looking for some clarification on managing shared Windows devices. We have several devices used by multiple employees, and I need to apply different restrictions and configurations depending on which user is logged in. 

However, when I assign a policy to a specific user who is logged into a shared machine, it seems to affect everyone else who logs into that same laptop later. Is there a way to make Hexnode policies dynamic so they change based on the specific user account?

Hi @noor_k  thank you for reaching out! 

Hexnode manages Windows devices at the device level, not on a user-level. When a Windows device is enrolled, it is treated as a single entity.

Because of this, any policy you deploy is applied to all the user accounts alike. This means all users on that shared device will inherit the exact same device-level policies.
