Settings
Use the Settings applications to specify your organization structure, password policies, DPS users, and other basic information about how you want DPS as a whole and each of its applications to function.
You access some settings applications in the browser application and others in the desktop applications. The Navigation panes in both applications contain a Settings section.
Be aware that changes to settings do not immediately affect users who are logged on at the time the change is made, including the person who makes the changes. The changes only take effect for those users after they log out of DPS and then log back in.
