When to use it
When the same kind of setting exists for users and for devices, or when user-assigned and device-assigned profiles keep getting mixed up. The object segment answers “who does this target?” without opening the profile.
- USR for profiles assigned to groups of users, DEV for groups of devices.
- Helpful for kiosks and shared devices, where assigning to users does not work.
