- To configure a user or a group simply right click > Profile or click the Profile button.
- If you are configuring folder settings for a group then you need to enable apply to the members as shown below in order for the folder settings to apply to the users.
- The users by default will have access to all the settings apart from Property and Management tab. Settings can be locked from the client software to prevent any changes to them by ticking the padlock check-box shown in the image below.
- Alternatively, if you don’t want users to have access to the software tabs you can untick the display options within the Management tab.
- If you configured a group profile then you will receive a prompt if you wish to apply the group settings to the users.
Note: Only changes made will apply to the users. For example if each individual user in the group has an Author ID setting configured and you haven’t changed the Author ID setting on the group then it will not overwrite the Author ID setting for the users.
