Account Templates
Account Templates Overview
Account Templates can be used when assigning Account Permissions for Admins and SysOps.
Account Templates can be assigned to an Account and applied in a priority order. Account Permissions are applied after all Account Templates. Account Templates have 3 states and Account Permissions have 2 since they are last.
Assigned Permission Template Priority Order
Account Templates can be assigned to an Account and applied in a priority order. Select the Permission Template from the dropdown list. You can add one or more Templates and they can be assigned in priority order. The top Template in the list will take precedent over the ones further down the list.
Permission Settings: Enable/Disable/Unset
Account Permissions have three settings: Enabled, Disabled and Unset. Enabled and Disabled will be applied but Unset will be ignored.
There are three settings for each permission.
Option | Description |
Enable: | The green toggle button enables the permission. |
Unset: | The grey toggle button unsets the permission. |
Disable: | The red toggle button disables the permission. |

Account Template Tabs
Permissions Tab
Click the Permissions tab and select the permissions you wish to apply. You can also copy from an existing Account Template.
Be sure to click the Submit button before moving to the other tabs to save your permissions.
IP Restrictions Tab
The IP Restrictions tab can restrict a template to specific IP ranges (e.g. 192.168.0.0/24 or 10.0.0.5-10.0.0.17). This prevents the SysOp from adding network- or client-based workstations outside of this range. This tab does not display for Admin Templates.
Groups Tab
An Account holder is said to be a 'Manager' of any Group that he or she manages. Use the Groups tab to assign or remove Groups from the selected Account Template.
