Every client account or user must be a member of a User Setting Level (Allows you to apply a setting configuration to an entire group of users. Every client account or user must be a member of a User Setting Level. User Setting Levels exist within a Site and consist of a group of settings used as a template. AKA Settings Level). User Setting Levels exist within a Site (In EFT Administrator, a Site is similar to a virtual FTP server bound to one or more IP addresses). User Setting Levels consist of a group of security and access-control settings used as a template. Each new user is assigned to a User Setting Level whose settings determine how EFT Server resources may be used. One User Setting Level might be quite restrictive, while another might allow more access to resources. For example, power users would be assigned to a setting level allowing greater flexibility in using EFT Server resources while guest users would be assigned to a more restrictive level where use of EFT Server resources is very limited. User Setting Levels allow an administrator to make changes at the User Setting Level that affect all users within the level. The basic profile of individual users can also be changed (overriding the template). Users can also be moved between User Setting Levels; users that are moved inherit the properties of the new User Setting Level, but retain any modifications (overrides) made by the administrator.
EFT Server installs with one User Setting Level named Default Settings. Additional User Setting Levels can be added to define access to EFT Server resources for various types of users. You cannot delete the Default Settings User Setting Level when it is the only User Setting Level.

User Setting levels apply to EFT Server resources. Permissions assigned to Groups (allows the administrator to define access permissions to files and folders. Just as User Setting Levels control access to EFT Server resources such as bandwidth allowances and connectivity privileges, Groups control access to folders. See virtual folders) control access to folders on your system. |
