Display Profiles

Display Profiles allow administrators to fine tune the look and feel of the web interface for their organization on a MOVEit DMZ server. A display profile consists of a name and a set of options which can either be enabled or disabled. Administrators may then assign a display profile to a class of user, the classes being Ad Hoc Transfer Only, Guest/Anonymous User, Power User, Temporary User and User, or to individual groups, in which case the group members would be assigned the display profile. When a user with an assigned display profile signs on to the web interface of MOVEit DMZ, they will see the items specified by that display profile.

Note: The Guest/Anonymous profile controls what is shown on the Sign on page to unauthenticated users. Those display profile options that do not affect the Sign on page are ignored.

Display Profiles Setting Page

The Display Profiles setting page consists of two parts. The first part, titled Edit User Class Display Profiles, allows the administrator to assign various display profiles to each of the four available user classes. By default, the class name profile is selected for each user class. Existing display profiles can be selected for each user class in that class' dropdown menu. Clicking Update Profiles will make the display profile assignment changes.

The second part, titled Display Profiles, lists the display profiles available in the organization. Each profile may be edited or deleted, and new profiles may be added. The settings in the Default Profile can be seen on the Add New Profile page. The page starts out with the default profile options selected. The default profile options cannot be changed.

Note: If a display profile that is currently assigned to one or more user classes is deleted, those user classes will be reset to use the Default Profile.

Display Profile Options

Each display profile must have a name. This is the name that is listed in both sections of the Display Profiles setting page. A name for a new display profile should be selected to convey the allowances and restrictions of the given profile. Names such as Messaging Only Profile, or Advanced Views By Default are good choices. Names such as Profile 1, or User Profile are less desirable. The profile name can be changed after creation without affecting the users assigned to that profile.

There are six sections of options available in a display profile.
