Templates

Templates are used to define the data applied at user creation. They allow you to prefill or request entry of whatever user properties you want.

Inheritance

One very useful and powerful feature is template inheritance. Create a base template that contains the common data for all your users, like Company or your Username or Password algorithms, all child templates will inherit the values and any changes made to the base template.

Template Components

Parent Template

Defines a parent template from which to inherit values from.

Template Name

The name for the template as will be shown to users on the create user page.

Template Category

Organize your templates into categories for easy retrieval.

Visibility

Control whether the template is visible on Create User page. Useful for base templates that should not be used directly.

Username, Display Name, and Password

Define the username and display name formats along with the new password for created users. An assortment of string variables are available to compute the value on creation.

Example

For a random two letter 6 digit password you would enter {Alpha}{Alpha}{Num}{Num}{Num}{Num}{Num}{Num}

Fields

This section allows for the addition of any of the user attribute you want to define After adding a field, you can then define a value, allow the user to edit the value, or require the value on creation.

Organizational Unit

Where the new user should be placed. Pretty self-explanatory.

Groups

The groups to assign the user to after creation. This can include inherited groups from parent templates.
