Configure Proxy User Groups

A Proxy User Group is a group of People (similar to Device Groups being groups of Devices). However, there's an added factor in this case: the People in the Group are users on the local network which are authenticated to the DrawBridge via the DrawBridge Agent software installed on the endpoint.

A Proxy User Group can be created either by manually adding People records to a "standalone" Proxy User Group, or, an existing Directory Group can be designated as a Proxy User Group. The advantage of designating a particular Directory Group as a Proxy Users Group is that the (Person) members of that group can be managed on the AD Server; no ongoing people membership maintenance is needed in the DrawBridge, as those details are automatically synchronized via the regular AD--DrawBridge sync job.
