Notes

• Person objects are closely associated with webtops. Each person object has a Links tab in Object Manager, which defines the webtop.
• There are a number of different user types. Some users may be able to log in to Secure Global Desktop even if they don't have a person object.
• You should put person objects in organizational units that reflect your organization's structure. This lets you define webtops more efficiently by placing department-wide applications on the webtop of the OU representing the department, and letting the person objects in that OU inherit the OU's webtop.
