Static user groups are best for situations when the membership is primarily unchanging, and the membership in the group cannot be formed using an easily-defined criteria. But, modern-day IT operations are complex and challenging. IT admins no longer manage Windows-only environments with local users secured by a firewall. Today’s trends entail enterprise mobility, BYOD management, multi-OS environments, etc., making IT operations both complex and crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dynamic User Groups<\/strong> facilitate automatic membership changes, depending upon the membership conditions set by the admin. If a user meets a meets particular criteria, they get added to a group. Likewise, if a user no longer meets the criteria, they are automatically removed from the group. Onboarding new users or adjusting group membership when conditions change for individual users and groups is seamlessly and instantly completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benefits of Dynamic User Groups: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Immediate Group Membership updates<\/strong> – membership changes immediately upon the user or group\u2019s conditions changing.
