### About User Assignment

Once you set up a Google Workspace, Entra ID or SCIM integration, users will automatically be imported into Iru Endpoint every 4 hours. Once imported, users can be assigned to devices, allowing you to view all devices assigned to a specific user. You can find more information about syncing users from Google Workspace or Entra ID [here](/en/endpoint/integrations/directory-services/user-directory-integration).

### How It Works

User assignment allows you to associate specific users with devices, enabling better device management and tracking. When users are assigned to devices, you can view all devices for a specific user and apply user-based policies and configurations.

### Prerequisites

* Before you can assign users, you must [configure a directory integration](/en/endpoint/integrations/scim/scim-directory-integration) to import users for assignment.

### Assigning a User to a Device

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to devices">
    Click **Devices** in the navigation menu.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit user assignment">
    Click on **Edit user**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign the user">
    **Type the name** you wish to assign to this device and click the **Assign** button.

    The device will now display the user's name inside the user field.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Viewing Devices Assigned to a User

### Considerations

* Assigning or unassigning users to devices may result in Library Item assignment changes if you're leveraging user group-based [conditional logic in Blueprints](/en/endpoint/blueprints/assignment-maps/using-conditional-logic-in-blueprints).
* Assigning users to devices may result in changes to profiles on the device if you're leveraging [Global Variables](/en/endpoint/library/library-items-profiles/global-variables) in any profile fields.
