# Automatically Assigning Laptop Owners in a Company

You can automatically assign owners for laptop clients that belong to a company. Owners have complete access to their data on the laptop. If the owner or the laptop is associated with a backup plan, then the owner can back up and restore data.

Note

You cannot automatically assign owners for Linux laptops. You must manually add the user as the owner to the Linux laptop.

By default, the following users are automatically assigned as owners of the laptop and have privileges to access the Web Console and the Edge Monitor tool:

- Active Directory users who are the administrators of the Windows or macOS client computer

- The first user to log on to the laptop or the user that is currently logged on to the laptop

- The user account used to install the Laptop Backup package

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Settings > Workload.

2. Click the Laptop options tile.

   The Laptop options page appears.
