The template user

A template user can be any user and is not specifically marked as a template user. With the introduction of User Groups, the template user is now only required for the Web-Basic and LDAP Authentication to set up the basic settings for each user.

In a multi-customer environment, the template user should follow an easy to understand naming standard and should always be disabled.

Note

Use a naming standard for template users: An example for such a naming standard would be _customername_user.
