Overwrite Settings Guardrail

With this enhancement, when an administrator attempts to save the configuration for the following Core Preferences pages, a pop-up warning message is displayed if the Overwrite custom settings checkbox is selected:

  • Login Message
  • Navigation Tabs and Links
  • Welcome Page

Administrators can select OK to overwrite custom settings for child OUs or Cancel to cancel the action and return to the preferences page.

This helps prevent inadvertent changes if the Overwrite custom settings checkbox is selected unintentionally. If this setting is selected in error, recovering previous configurations is difficult and time-consuming to fix.

Implementation

This functionality is automatically enabled for all organizations.
