Choose Handling of User Related Data

Explanation

Data associated with the user IDs are handled in a special way during the creation of a company template.  This data can be extracted from:

The reason why a template is suggested as source for the user data is that a template should be as neutral as possible and should, in most cases, only contain users' identities that makes sense in any environment and for any company. It is also not very convenient to create a company template, which is supposed to be used in a component release, that contains user IDs that are not neutral. User (ID-related) data is often associated with the installation and setup of IFS Applications but can also differ between companies.

By default, the default template is suggested as the source for this type of data. For example, let us say that the standard template with identity STD is marked as the default template. As long as this template is used as the source, we can be more or less assured that all created templates have user identity related data that makes sense, is neutral, and can be used without problems when creating a new company.

It is possible, however, to select a source company as the source for the user ID related data, meaning that user ID related data from the selected company will be extracted. In this case, note that:
