Creating a User Template

User templates define the settings you want to use when creating new users. Templates are recommended because they significantly reduce administration time.

Infor CRM includes several default user templates. You can customize the default user template, or create a new user template. Tell me more...Closed

For example, you can create a user template named Manager which can function as the generic user profile for all managers in your company. Then, when you create the users and apply the template, the profile is already configured with the appropriate settings.

User templates do not consume an Infor CRM user license and cannot log on to Infor CRM.

If the template is not assigned to the Standard User role, any new users created from the template will not have access to some Web Client features.

To create

  1. On the Administration menu, click Add Users.
  2. In the Add box, select Template.
  3. In the Quantity box, select the number of user templates that you want to add.
  4. If you want to manually modify each tab in the template's profile to configure the settings, proceed to Step 7.
  5. To create the template from an existing template or using the profile of an existing user, select the Create From Profile check box. Then, select one of the following.
  • Template adds a template based on an existing template. In the Templates box, select the name of the template.
  • Existing User adds a new user based on an existing user’s profile. In the User box, select the name of the existing user.
