User group types
There are two general types of user groups:
- Static user groups: Static user groups are those which are populated manually, that is, all users are individually added by the administrator.
- Dynamic user groups: Dynamic user groups are populated and maintained through either a query or a directory server. For more information on dynamically populated user groups, see Dynamically-populated-user-and-device-groups.
The different types of group are distinguished by their icon:
Icon | Description |
|---|---|
| Static user group |
| Dynamic user group, managed via assigned queries |
| Dynamic user group, managed via a directory server |
