User Preferences
The settings of the User Preferences concern new users on the TightGate-Pro, created directly by the administrator maint or when logging in with user certificates.
Note: For user administration via Active Directory (AD) or for CSV import of users, the settings for the user profile are set elsewhere.
How to do it:
- Login as administrator config and select the menu item User Preferences
- The following defaults can be set:
| Menu item | Description | Changeable by |
|---|---|---|
| User profile: Default* | TightGate-Pro offers the possibility to choose between several user profiles. This setting only affects user accounts that are newly created or whose user profile is reset. TightGate-Pro has only one profile at the factory. Further profiles can be installed by the technical customer service of m-privacy GmbH. Note: This menu item is only available if a "Custom" profile is installed in addition to the "Standard" profile. | Maint |
