Content Manager 25.2 Content Manager

# System Options User Interface page

The User Interface page enables you to set lockdown, shortcuts and double click options.

- Lockdown style - enables an administrator or user with the Change System Settings permission to force users to use global settings.

  See Setting up Global Settings.

  Select the type of Lockdown you want to apply to Content Manager.

  - No Lock Down - users can modify settings, they can get global settings and are allowed to change settings.

    See Get Global.

  - Session Lock Down - users can modify settings but the changes are not retained - the next time a user logs on to Content Manager, they will retrieve the global settings.
  - Lock Down - users can not modify settings.

    You can bypass lockdown for individual users or groups of users by using either the Bypass Lockdown or Change System Settings permissions.

    Use the Bypass loading global toolbar and menu permission to enable users to make changes to their toolbars and menus.

    See Miscellaneous permissions by user type.

    For example, you could bypass it for visually impaired users who need to have a different set of font settings etc.

    See Profile page.
