Creating a User Defaults template

Before you add mailbox and service users, you might want to change the User Defaults template so that the disk usage and service options available to users are pre-filled according to your preferences. This template is not required, but it can make adding multiple users easier and faster.

The default settings appear on the add user form, although you can change them as needed before you add the user.

To create a User Defaults template:

1. In the shortcuts area of the Home page, click Add User (Users section).

2. On the Mailboxes/Users submenu, click Set User Defaults. The Set User Defaults form opens.

3. In the Disk Quota field, enter the amount of disk space, in megabytes, that will be allotted to each user. To allow an unlimited amount of disk space, type 0 (zero).

4. Note: The control panel does not support quotas on NFS-mounted servers. For NFS-mounted servers, type 0 (zero).

4. In the Telnet field, if you want to allow users to connect remotely to the server using a Telnet connection, select the check box; otherwise, leave it blank.

5. If CGI service is enabled for the site, you can select the CGI checkbox to enable the user to run CGI scripts.  

6. In the SSH Secure Shell field, if you want to allow users to connect remotely to the server using an SSH connection, select the check box; otherwise, leave it blank.

7. In the FTP field, if you want to allow users to transfer files using FTP, select the check box; otherwise, leave it blank.

8. In the Spam Filter field, if you want to allow users to control and manage spam, select the check box; otherwise, leave it blank.

9. Click Save. The defaults appear on the add user form whenever you add a user.
