1.2 Policies

Acronis Access Client Management allows policies to be assigned to Active Directory groups. Group

policies will usually address most or all of your client management requirements. The group policies

list is displayed in order of precedence, with the first group in the list having the highest priority.

When a user contacts the Acronis Access server, their settings are determined by the single highest

priority group policy they are a member of.

User policies are used when you want to enforce specific settings on a user regardless of the groups

he is in, as User policies have a higher priority than Group policies. User policies will override all

Group policies.

Group Management Tips

If you would like all or most of your users to receive the same policy settings, you can enable the Default group

policy. If it' s enabled all users which are not members of a group policy and do not have an explicit user policy,

will become members of the Default group. The Default group is disabled by default. If you would like to deny a

group of users access to Acronis Access management, ensure that they are not members of any configured

group policies. As long as a user account does not match any group policies, they will be denied the ability to

enroll in Acronis Access client management.
