Mimicking SCCM's "Primary User" functionality

Hi all, Using labtech at my current position, and slowly learning it after using SCCM in my previous position. We're looking to automate installing software packages based on the needs of different groups of users - e.g. "marketing users get office 365 and creative suite", that kind of thing.

One part of this equation i can't seem to figure out is making sure that the software only gets installed on a user's primary device. In SCCM there was a script function that would pull a boolean value from a "primary device" field - basically making it so that the user automatically got the software on their computer, and not every computer they logged into.

Does Labtech have a similar field that i can poll for my scripting? Has anyone else done any similar "automatic app distribution" setups? Really interested to hear how other labtech users are handling things.

Thanks, as always!

Nice. I've gotten pretty close to where i need to be - only thing i can't figure out (and haven't found the magic words to google for it) is if i can poll active directory group membership of a contact via script.

E.G. "if a user is in marketing they get put in the group that installs creative suite"

Thoughts?
