System settings¶
Administrators can configure the application system-wide by opening this page via the menu item Settings – System settings. Some security-relevant settings are reserved for administrators with special rights, so-called Super-Admins. As a manager, you can also edit general settings, but only for your tenants and the users assigned to them, starting from the page Preferences. This chapter describes all settings, labeled accordingly. For background information see the section Roles and rights.
Note
In addition to the system settings, the application can be preconfigured with configuration parameters in a system file. You will find a note where this is possible. Examples are:
By default, a user is automatically logged out after 10 hours. The maximum duration of a work session can be preconfigured generally or per tenant. The shortest duration applies for users with several tenants.
The login dialog is locked by default for 5 seconds after an incorrect entry. Only then it is possible to enter data again. The value can be increased to protect the system from brute force attacks on the login interface.
Settings for …¶
This drop-down list is used to determine the scope of the tabs below it. It is displayed for administrators on the page System settings and for administrators and managers on the page Preferences. The entry the entire installation is preset after opening the page via the menu item System settings and is only available there. Settings for the entire installation apply to all tenants and all users. By selecting a Tenant, specific settings can be edited that have priority over the global settings. The DEFAULT tenant always exists, even if there are no other tenants. This makes it possible to differentiate between general and specific settings when preparing further tenants or even to delegate the editing of the settings to a manager. The entry for me personally switches to the personal Preferences, which each user can open from the menu Settings.
Submit¶
This button saves changes for the scope selected under Settings for. It is possible to submit changes from several tabs together for the same scope. To make changes for different scopes, you must click on Submit before selecting another entry from the drop-down list Settings for.
Load default values¶
The button opens a comparison in which the values of all fields can be compared and reset to the default settings. For further information see Load default values.
The drop-down list at the top and the buttons at the bottom repeat on all tabs.
