Users and Groups in a Workgroup

Hello CharlieC,

users and groups are described in the Central Admin help.
Please see also How are policies prioritized?  There's only one policy that "wins", i.e. there is no inheritance of settings or parts of a policy.

Thanks QC!

I read through this.

Question, the policy that "wins" group if users are in a group?

If they are not in a group then the user policy wins?

Hello CharlieC,

I have no first-hand experience with Central/Intercept X. Someone may correct me if I'm wrong.
I assume that a user can have two policies assigned, one directly and one via the group and the higher policy wins. Thus for a certain user/computer combination up to four policies might compete for the win. But it should be rather easy to find out how it works as the User Summary shows amongst other things the policies that apply.
