    • Local Admin Enabled: Select this option to elevate the end users assigned to this policy to local admins on all their Cloud PCs.

    • Frequency of restore-point service: From the drop-down list, select the time interval to automatically take snapshots (restore points) of a Cloud PC.

    • Assignments: Type the name of the group to assign this policy to.
