Use the Group Preferences page to apply user preferences to group members. You can:
- Choose to apply only certain preferences to group members, leaving others intact.
- Exclude preference changes for specific users.
- Apply preferences to one or more groups.
When applying preferences to groups, be aware that:
- Preferences are not automatically applied to new members you add to existing groups. For details, refer to Applying Preferences to New Group Members.
- Users who have privileges to modify their user profile can overwrite preferences you set for them. Likewise, changes you make to preferences overwrite changes made by users or earlier changes applied to a different group.
- Privileges may determine if preferences apply to group members. For example, if a member of a group does not have privileges to see a report set as the home page for the group, the preference is ignored for that member.
To set preferences for groups:
- From the Administrator portal, select the Groups icon.
- Select one or more groups, and then click Details.
- Select the Group Preferences tab.
- Select the tab that contains the preferences you want to change.
Choices are:
- Content
- Display
- Sections
- Date/Time & Locale
- Work Center
For details on each preference, refer to About Preferences.
- Apply preferences to the group by changing a setting or by selecting
the check box next to each setting you want to change.
Tip: Use the check boxes at the far left of each setting to determine if it was applied for the group.
- Click Save.
- A dialog box opens, showing you the list of users that are impacted by your change. To exclude specific users from the change, move them to the Excluded Users list.
- Click OK.
