User Groups

A user group is a collection of users having some common attributes such as the same job title, location, department, device type, and so on. Hexnode UEM enables you to create user groups seamlessly while providing the options to associate policies and apply various remote actions to the user groups.

Note:


‘User Groups’ are supported on all Hexnode pricing plans except Express.
