Settings: Account and Server Configuration
The Setting menu is where users manage their own account information and where administrators view or modify MagicINFO Server configuration. Every user can edit their profile and trusted devices here; server-wide settings are reserved for administrator roles.
This chapter applies to on-premises MagicINFO Server installations. The content of this page is not relevant to MagicINFO Cloud.
MagicINFO Server administrators (general administrator and organization administrators) can assign a role to each user, and available functions depend on that role. For details on user roles, see Managing Users. The topics in this section assume general administrator privileges.
