Update Assigned User:
In the window, you will see a table with the columns for Machine Name, Assigned User, and IP/DNS.
To change the user, click the Assigned User field next to the machine you wish to update.
Enter the new user in the following format: domain\username
Save Changes:
After editing the user assignment, click the Save button on the right side of the window.
The new user assignment will now be synced.
Sync Interval:
The updated assignment is automatically synced every 5 minutes to ensure that all machines and users are up to date. This means that after making a change, the new user assignment will take effect on the machine after the next sync cycle.
If you need to revert to an older assignment configuration, you can restore a previous version using the Browse Versions feature.

The machine assignments will now be reverted to how they were on that specific date.
Save and Sync:
After restoring a previous version, the updated assignment list will be automatically synced to the system within 5 minutes.
