User Level (User Config Options)

If specific users in your company require unique configuration settings, you can specify them at the user level. Configuration settings at the user level override the same configuration settings at the location and company levels. Any configs left blank automatically use the company or location level settings; therefore, you only need to specify settings that are different than those specified at the location or company levels.

You can restrict users from making changes on all tabs, or just the Advanced tab.

The following table shows the available configuration settings for the user level and the effects of each.

What you'll find:
