User default settings

The User Default Settings form in Security allows you to set up default settings for automatically created users in a group.

In order for all of the settings to be automatically created for a new user, Windows Authentication should be set in the Security Policy.

When a new user is automatically set up:

  • The relevant user properties (User name, full name, etc), are retrieved from Active Directory and assigned to the user.
  • The Windows group is ascertained from Active Directory, and the relevant mapped SunSystems group is assigned to the user. You must set up the Group Mappings in User Creation Settings.
  • After the group is established, the settings you specify in this form are assigned to the user. You must therefore set up the User Default Settings for every SunSystems group that has a corresponding Windows group.
