The Group Policy of a user or team of users can be updated remotely from the ESET Endpoint Encryption (EEE) Server.

Modifying the Group Policy

• Login to the EEE Server.
• Select the Users branch or user sub team of the navigation tree as appropriate.

If you wish to update an existing activated user follow the steps below:

• Click the Users tab.
• Previously activated users that have been affected by the change will change icon colour to Red and their status will be listed as User requires an updated Key-File.
