User Class

A user class is created to apply the same set of the configuration of connection protocols, IP access, Quota, and other protocol-level features, to the users in the class. Unlike the user group, which is used only for granting directory permissions, the user class offers the flexibility of manipulating the settings controlling how a certain group of users reaches the server resources. While a user can only belong to one user class, one can have memberships in different User Groups.

The User class settings are mostly duplicates of user settings. To learn about the details, refer to the user settings section.
