System level, or bulk deployment, of the DAP on OS app, places an application distributor of the DAP on OS at the system level, inside the Program Files directory for Windows or Applications for MacOS.
The installation of the DAP on OS app on a user level is triggered when a user signs into a common Windows machine.
For example, if you have a Windows or MacOS computer that is used by multiple people in your organization. Each user has a separate user profile and login credentials for the same computer. Once the IT Admin carries out a system-level distribution, a distributor file for the DAP on OS app is added to the computer. Now, every time a new user logs into their respective profile, DAP on OS is installed in the local device of that particular user.
