Inheritance

The Settings Template inherits settings from the Site, and a user initially shares the settings of the Settings Template in which the account was created. Inherited settings are marked by gray check boxes. You can override inherited settings by clearing or selecting the check box.

The check boxes toggle through three settings:

You can change a user’s Settings Template by dragging and dropping the user into a different Settings Template, or using the procedure in Moving a User to a Different Settings Template. The account's inherited settings change to reflect the settings of its new Settings Template; however, if a user account contains modified (overridden) settings and is moved to a new Settings Template, those modifications remain in effect at the new Settings Template.
