Subconfiguration Overview
Using subconfigurations, you can apply settings to particular client hosts, users, and/or groups. Subconfiguration information is saved in the server configuration file.
The server uses the following logic to apply subconfiguration settings.
- Global settings apply to any client user who does not match a configured subconfiguration.
- Host-specific settings override global settings.
- Group-specific settings override host and global settings.
- User-specific settings override host, group, and global settings.
When you configure subconfigurations, you'll see these items in the server panels:
|
Reload inherited settings |
Removes subconfiguration-specific values from all settings on this pane. All settings values revert to their current inherited state. Note: This change is not finalized until you save your configuration using File > Save. |
|

An asterisk indicates that the value of a setting is specific to the current subconfiguration. The server always applies the specified value, regardless of any subsequent changes you make to global or inherited settings. |
