A CDP administrator can configure the interface of the product to make it more accessible and easy to use. This is done by hiding some menu options and product features that are not required by some users.
When a CDP Server is upgraded to 3.18 version, after the first super-user logon it prompts to make a choice of configuration. The system allows to select a configuration compatible with objects you have created.
* Example: If you use Volumes and sub users, you can only choose "Service Provider with Multi-level Reselling;" other options are greyed out (not available).
* Example: If you use Volumes, sub users, and groups, you can only use custom settings.\\ \\
