ThinManage 3.1 Administration Manual
User Based Pooling
The purpose of this section is to introduce User Based Pooling and its features, describe the role that Microsoft Active
Directory plays in the ThinManage pooling mechanism, and explain the rules of selection. Section 4.5 walks through a
hypothetical pooling scenario to help illustrate the entire concept.
What is Pooling?
Pooling is a superset of the free seating pairing method. Instead of a user being linked to exactly one workstation Host
(HC10/HC12) in the case of free seating, with pooling, that user is assigned a workstation from a pool of Hosts.
