The settings under Groups\All Users, does that apply to all the groups? Or could they be different for each Group?
Simple question hopefully a simple answer. I'm new to administrating PDM but have been using it since 2016. I am waiting to get training "patience my young Padawan".
Setting for All Groups?
Re: Setting for All Groups?
edit: TL,DR: yes, it will apply those settings exactly to all users currently in that group.PCObelcz wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 1:47 pm The settings under Groups\All Users, does that apply to all the groups? Or could they be different for each Group?

It might help you to draw a line between permissions and settings your mind. They are applied differently, settings are saved to the user (regardless of if they are set from a group setting dialog) and permissions are determined live based on the permissions stored in several places (user, group, state, folder etc.)
When you use a group settings dialog it will apply those settings to all users in the group. So be careful when users are in more than one group as which ever group setting you applied last is what they get.
For example, if you have users in a group that have different context menu settings then the Group settings dialog will be blank. Don't be like me and think you can simply add a single command to that right click menu here. If I were to add one command to that menu from here and click apply, that will update the menu for all users in the group to only have that one command.

That would get a rise out of some of our users.
Thanks
