User Account Settings Overriding Group Settings

Greg Thomson May 2, 2016 11:10 AM

I manage all user accounts via group settings. So, all users are assigned to a group, and I never edit their user settings. I recently came across a scenario whereby a set of warnings are not properly pulling from the group settings, and the user account (default) settings are taking precedence.

Are there any scenarios where user settings take precedence or get detached from group settings? Can it be reset? Is this maybe just an SPR?

Below is a screenshots of my specific scenario...

1. Is the Group setting (BEPL Designer)

2. Is the assignment of User to a single Group (BEPL Designer)

3. And here is the setting within the User account.

...I'm thinking these settings get OR'd with group settings, and accidentally got set during initial account creation.

Greg,

  It is just an OR operation on these, so either can be set and it applies. Not much to do but go through and set those to cleared at the user level, though you can do it to all users at once by right clicking users and clicking open, then select all users and click properties and clearing that checkbox.
