Will we be able to assign autopatch rings to users in the near future?

Our panel would love more information on what you're looking to do so we can include that as we plan for new features and capabilities. Can you share details?
Hi Heather,
As Bryan mentioned, we have a more user/persona centric configuration mindset here. Our device naming schemes(very generic) would not allow us to point updates to IT personnel, or other groups before going more broadly out to users in the other rings. With WuFB, we assigned the rings to the users, and this has worked so that there is no administrative overhead to managing devices(new or replaced devices) in the early release rings and so on.

Thank you for participating in AMA: Unified update management for Windows. For reference, the panel covered this topic at around 9:03.
I suspect the ask is exactly that: they want to target users with Autopatch groups.
Why? Because for the last decade or so MS has been beating the drum of being user centric. Administrate users, not systems/devices. So it strikes me as logical that admins are going to want/expect that to translate to updates as well.
