Segmentation user group asset

A segmentation user group is similar to a regular user account type user group. However, it does not contain any permanent user assets. A user is automatically placed into a segmentation user group for a single request if any segment IDs sent by the CDP match IDs assigned to a segmentation user group in Matrix.

The user group allocation can change dynamically for a user. It is driven by how the Customer Data Platform (CDP) compares a configured list of segment IDs matched against what is sent about a current user and how that user is followed throughout their site visit.

The segmentation user group can provide all inbound visitors to your site with basic public user access and follow their activity as they use it. This data can provide further insights into their usage behavior as they interact with your site and change user group segment ID classifications as they explore its features and potentially convert from a visitor to a customer.
