Specific settings

Windows

Specific settings are used to override the properties of an entry. Several settings can be overridden, such as the credentials or the display mode. Specific settings are context sensitive and may not be available for certain entry types.

• User-specific settings override an entry's properties for a single user.
• Local specific settings override an entry's properties for all users.

User-specific settings are only available when using an advanced workspace. User-specific settings are synchronized with both Devolutions Cloud and Devolutions Server, and can be edited directly from the web interface.

To enable User-specific settings, go to the ribbon of Remote Desktop Manager Windows and select Administration – System settings – Vault – Allow user-specific settings. Note that Local-specific settings override User-specific settings when both are applied to the same entry.

The options are available in the ribbon. Select Edit – Setting overrides – User-specific settings or Local-specific settings.

These can also be accessed by using the right-click on an entry and going to Edit – User/Local-specific settings.
