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.

Thanks for the quick response. But there is a bit issue for our current workflow.
Since policies are strictly device-level, is there any other way within Hexnode UEM to perform actions at a user-specific level? I really need to target the specific user’s environment.
I completely understand. While Policies are fixed to the device, you can achieve user-level execution using the Execute Custom Script remote action.
You have two effective ways to target the script to a specific user:
