Tenant Defaults

Max Devices

The default device quota for new tenants. Set to 0 or leave blank for unlimited.

Max Users

The default user quota for new tenants. Set to 0 or leave blank for unlimited.

How Defaults Work

SecureLink uses a priority cascade for display settings:

  1. User Preference (highest priority) — set by the individual user in Account Settings
  2. System Default — configured on this page
  3. Built-in Default (lowest priority) — UTC timezone, YYYY-MM-DD date format, 24-hour time

If a user has not set a personal preference, the system default is used. If no system default is configured, the built-in default applies.

info

Users can override timezone, date format, and time format in their personal Account Settings. Theme preference is also per-user. System defaults only apply when a user has not set their own preference.
