Add user groups in Apple Business Manager
You can create a group of users in Apple Business Manager. These are known as user groups and there are two types, Smart User Groups and User Groups.
Note: Users can also be a member of more than one Smart User Group and User Group.
Smart User Groups
Smart User Groups are created using rules based on specific user attributes, such as:
Location
Role
Cost Center
Department
Division
For example, when you import users from an Identity Provider such as Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), a Smart User Group can be updated automatically based on attributes from those users.
User Groups
User Groups are created manually and you select which users to add. For example, you can create a User Group for a cross-functional team made up of users from different departments.
