Personalization groups
Personalization groups enable Environment Manager User Personalization to be configured for multiple users based on common requirements. Membership rules, based on Environment Manager conditions, define which users are managed by the group. Applications, application groups and Windows Settings groups can then be added to determine what is personalized for users in the group.
Settings for application discovery, syncing and caching can also be applied to further control how personalization is managed for the group.
Add a Personalization group
To add group membership rules, refer to Create Personalization group membership rules.
-
In the User Personalization navigation pane select Personalization Groups.
The work area displays the name and description of all existing Personalization groups which can be accessed by double-clicking.
-
Click Add Personalization Group from the Personalization ribbon.
A new Personalization group is created at the bottom of the list of Personalization groups, immediately above the Default Users group.
-
Add a name for the new group and press Enter.
To rename a Personalization group, highlight and select Rename Group from the Personalization ribbon.
If changes are made to Personalization group assignments, the affected users should log off and back on to pick up the changes.
User data partitioning
Prior to Environment Manager 10.0, user data was tied to a user/Personalization group. This meant that if a user moved between Personalization groups, they had separate data in each group. In 10.0, this mechanism changed so data is tied to the user only, regardless of which Personalization group they match, so users have only one data profile.
Clone a Personalization group
Cloning allows duplication of a Personalization group for test cases.
- In the User Personalization navigation pane select Clone.
- Right-click on the appropriate Personalization group.
- Add the information to create the clone, including unique name.
