Creating a User Template
User templates define the settings you want to use when creating new users. Templates are recommended because they significantly reduce administration time.
Infor CRM includes several default user templates. You can customize the default user template, or create a new user template. Tell me more...
For example, you can create a user template named Manager which can function as the generic user profile for all managers in your company. Then, when you create the users and apply the template, the profile is already configured with the appropriate settings.
User templates do not consume an Infor CRM user license and cannot log on to Infor CRM.

If the template is not assigned to the Standard User role, any new users created from the template will not have access to some Web Client features.
