How advanced settings are obtained for a user

Application Administration uses the client's current administration system and user to determine the system and user that will be used as the source of the client's Central Settings, including the advanced settings.

If the client does not have a current administration system and user, then application administration will not download any Central Settings, including the advanced settings.

For administration systems, the following steps outline how Application Administration obtains a user's advanced settings:

1. If a user has advanced settings on the administration system, Application Administration uses those settings. Otherwise, it continues to the next step.

2. If a user belongs to a group that has advanced settings on the administration system, Application Administration uses those settings. The first group found with settings is used. The groups are searched by first checking the user profile's group profile and then checking the supplemental groups. If no group settings are found, then Application Administration continues to the next step.

3. If there are default advanced settings on the administration system, Application Administration uses them. Otherwise, there are no advanced settings for the user.
