Policy-Based Endpoint Account Assignment

You can configure a policy for default endpoint user accounts. Upon non-attended endpoint actions (REST API actions and policy-based provisioning) to endpoints that don't already have assigned accounts, JetPatch Agent Manager automatically assigns these default user accounts according to policy.
