What role do user groups play in Jamf Pro?

User groups in Jamf Pro are essential for managing access and permissions within the system. By grouping users together, you can establish which users have access to specific resources, policies, and configurations based on their membership in those groups. This is particularly useful in organizations where permissions need to be carefully controlled and where different groups may require different software, settings, or access rights.

This functionality enhances security and ensures that users only have access to the resources they need for their roles. For example, an IT user group might have access to administrative settings and software deployment resources, while a separate user group for contractors might have more restricted access. This organization allows for a more streamlined and secure management of devices and policies in Jamf Pro.
