A warning sign shows to the left of the group in the Authorized Pre-boot users window if one or more users in the group do not have credentials. Put your mouse over the warning sign to see a tooltip that explains the problem.
Pre-boot users can be within a node or not assigned to a node.
To create new online Pre-boot user:
The Add new Pre-boot user window opens.
Note - The default expiration setting is: Never
To unlink a Windows user from the logged on Pre-boot account:
A new link is created with a different Windows account at the next Windows log in.
You can add Active Directory users and groups to devices, OUs, or groups for Pre-boot authentication. In SmartEndpoint, groups have an option of Authorize Pre-boot nodes in addition to Authorize Pre-boot users.
After you add a group to a device, group or OU, users in the group are directly assigned to the entity and do not need to go through user acquisition. If you add more users to the group after it was assigned to an entity, the new users are automatically directly assigned also.
The maximum amount of users in a group that can be assigned to a device, group, or OU for Pre-boot is 250.
To add a group or user to a device and see authorized users:
The Authorized Pre-boot users window opens. From here you can:
You can add groups that contain users without configured credentials to a device, OU, or group, but the individual users without credentials are not assigned to the device. If credentials are configured for them, they will be assigned automatically based on the order in which they were added.
If you try to add an entity that will bring the total number of users over 250, the operation is blocked.
