Viewing Effective Settings

Effective Settings is a read-only view of the effective configuration settings for a given element, such as an organization, domain or host.

The effective settings of a specific user are the result of a merge process, including the configuration settings stored at the involved organization level(s), role(s), and the user. You can display the merged configuration settings of a selected element in a separate Effective Settings window. This allows for easy verification and also error debugging. An Effective Settings report can also be printed and stored for archival purposes.
