Profiles assigned to users have a higher priority than profiles assigned to devices. In the case of the master profiles, the relevant group rather than the individual client or user is prioritized. This means:

Rule: Master profiles assigned to user groups have a higher priority than those assigned to individual users. These have higher priority than master profiles assigned to device directories. Master profiles assigned to an individual client have the lowest priority.
