How to Use Computer-User Association in User System Management - AnySecura Manual

This guide explains how AnySecura's User System Management uses computer-user associations to automate group synchronization. You'll see how linking a computer to its primary user ensures it inherits the correct permissions and policies.

We'll then explore the Associated Information view, where you can review and manage these relationships. You'll learn how to manually update associations or configure AnySecura's automatic reassociation settings to keep your access rules dynamically aligned with actual usage.

When setting synchronization configurations, if the source is a user and the target is a computer, the system will match the user based on the first login. If the match is successful, the computer will be synchronized to the group where the source user belongs. This user is referred to as the "Computer's Associated User."

Select User System Management -> Associated Information to view which user is associated with the computer.

Associated Information includes:

Icon Button Descriptions:

Icon Button	Description
	Query the associated user of the computer to quickly locate and view the specified associated information.
	The associated information list will display computers based on the selected display mode and filter criteria.
	Select a computer and perform this operation to synchronize the computer based on the last logged-in user. The "Computer Associated User" will be updated to the last logged-in user.
	Select a computer and perform this operation to choose a user for synchronization. The computer will be synchronized to the selected user, and the "Computer Associated User" will be updated to the selected user.
	Automatic Reassociation Settings. Scope Settings Included Range: Select the range of computers that will enable automatic reassociation. Excluded Range: Select the range of computers that will not enable automatic reassociation. The excluded range takes priority over the included range. Automatic Reassociation Associated User Inactivity Days Check this option and set the number of days. When the current associated user has been inactive for the specified number of days, the next login or an already logged-in non-associated user will be automatically associated with the computer as the new associated user. Non-Associated User Exclusive Usage Days Check this option and set the number of days. When a non-associated user exclusively uses the computer for the specified number of consecutive days (with only this non-associated user logging in and using the computer), this non-associated user will be automatically associated with the computer as the new associated user. These two settings work independently. When both are enabled simultaneously: 1. If the current associated user test has not exceeded the specified inactivity days, but the non-associated user test2 has exclusively used the computer for more than the specified consecutive days, test2 will automatically become the new associated user for the computer. 2. If the current associated user test has exceeded the specified inactivity days, and test2 is already logged in and using the computer, test2 will immediately become the new associated user for the computer, even if test2 has not yet exceeded the required consecutive usage days.
	Do Not Associate Any User. Select a computer and perform this action, the computer will be synchronized based solely on the computer, not the user. A "*" symbol will appear before the computer's name.
	The name of the computer with an associated user.
