Local Group Policy For Specific User Or Group In Windows 10

Introduction

 

In Microsoft Windows 10, the Local Group Policy Editor offers fast access to various capable components that you can use to control your PC. If you want to follow policy settings to apply strategy settings to particular clients rather than the entire PC, however, you need to do some additional setup before you begin.

 

The Local Group Policy Editor isolates policy settings into two classes, listed below.

 

Computer Configuration which holds approaches that observe in spite of whether the consumer is logged in.

 

User Configuration which holds policies that applies to particular clients.

When you arrange the policy for special users, only the User Configuration settings are accessible in the Group Policy Editor, not the computer configuration settings.
