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&#8217;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.&nbsp;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>&nbsp;&#8211; membership changes immediately upon the user or group\u2019s conditions changing.
