Enabling ZDX for a Group of Users

You can use Zscaler Service Entitlement to select which users can enroll into ZDX. To enable ZDX for only a select group of users, you must deploy Zscaler Client Connector 2.2.1 or later.

If you’re using device groups, the user must belong to both the device group and user group to avoid disconnecting ZPA services.

Enabling ZDX at a Group Level

To enable ZDX for a group of users:

  1. In the Zscaler Client Connector Portal, go to Administration.
  2. From the left menu, select Zscaler Service Entitlement.
  3. Click the Zscaler Digital Experience tab.
  4. To enable ZDX for only a group of users, ensure that ZDX Enabled by Default is disabled. If this setting is enabled, then ZDX is available for all users and you cannot assign ZDX to a group.

  1. Select a group of users from the drop-down menu and click Done. The default setting is None. This option means no groups have access to ZDX. This allows users to keep their current settings, allowing you to choose when to configure it for them.

These groups are defined in the ZIA Admin Portal. If you do not see your groups, ensure that groups were synced to the Zscaler Client Connector Portal. To learn more, see Syncing Directory Groups between the ZIA Admin Portal and App Portal.

  1. To enable ZDX for device groups, select one or more groups from the Device Groups drop-down menu.
  2. Select Logout Zscaler Client Connector when ZDX Entitlement is Enabled to automatically log users out of Zscaler Client Connector when ZDX is enabled for a device group. Users can then log in again to enable the ZDX service. This applies to customers using ZPA only or ZPA and Zscaler Deception. When disabled, Zscaler Client Connector runs without the ZDX service until the next Zscaler Client Connector login.

Configure ZDX user groups for Zscaler Service Entitlement

  1. Click Save.

This updates your users' devices the next time they connect. If they are already connected, the devices automatically update in 60 minutes. To manually update their devices, users can go into Zscaler Client Connector and click Update Policy from the More window. After manually refreshing, they must reauthenticate on the Digital Experience window.
