4.4 Working with Profile Settings

A profile setting is a collection of values for settings of an application. A profile can consist of one or more profile settings. Assigning profile settings to users and groups creates profiles for the users and groups.

From the Intellisync Mobile Suite control, you can:

4.4.1 Creating Profile Settings

GroupWise Mobile Server provides default profile settings for each option. These default settings might be sufficient for your company for certain features. You can also create custom profile settings. When you define a profile setting, you can allow users to override certain values within the profile setting. You can also enable or disable features.

  1. From the console tree, expand Profile Settings.

  2. Navigate to the option beneath the location where you want to create a profile setting, and then select the option.

  3. Click Action > Create New Setting.

  4. In the New Setting Name field, type a name for the setting.

  5. (Optional) From the list, select an existing profile setting where values are similar to the setting you want to create. This decreases the setup time for the new setting.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Select the values for the profile setting.

  8. To allow the user to override a value if necessary, select the option to the right of the value.

  9. Click OK.

4.4.2 Using Properties to Change Profile Settings

After you create a profile setting, you can use the Properties dialog box to add or change information.

  1. From the console tree, expand Profile Settings.

  2. Navigate to the profile setting you want to change.

  3. Select the profile.

  4. Click Action > Properties.

  5. Complete the changes for the setting.

  6. Click OK.

4.4.3 Applying Profiles to Users and Groups

You can assign profile settings to individual users and groups. Profile settings you assign to an individual user take precedence over settings you assign to the user as a member of a group. For more information on assigning profile settings to users and groups, see Section 3.2.4, Assigning or Editing User Profiles and Section 3.3.4, Assigning or Editing Group Profiles.

4.4.4 Prioritizing Profile Assignments

Users who are members of more than one group have multiple profiles. You can determine which profile has priority for these users. Profiles you assign directly to a user take priority and override all other profiles assigned through groups.

To prioritize multiple profiles for users who are in multiple groups:

  1. From the console tree, select Profile Settings.

  2. Click Action > Prioritize Profile Assignments.

  3. In the Profile Priority list, select the group name to which you want to assign the highest priority.

  4. Click Move Up to move the group name to the top of the list.

  5. Continue this process using Move Up and Move Down until the group list is in profile priority order from highest to lowest.

  6. Click OK.

4.4.5 Deleting Profile Settings

You can delete profile settings you no longer need.

  1. From the console tree, expand Profile Settings.

  2. Navigate to the profile setting you want to delete.

  3. Select the profile.

  4. Click Action > Delete.

  5. Click OK to confirm the deletion.

NOTE:You cannot delete a profile settings page if it is assigned to a user or group. Assign a new profile settings page to the affected users and groups. You can delete the profiles setting page after it is no longer in use.
