🧭 Accessing User Directory Settings

Click on Users.
Select the user and click User > Edit or use the Edit User icon.
Click Directories: View/Modify...

🗂️ What Are User Directory Settings?

User directory settings define file paths specific to the individual user. These paths are stored in the user's Personal INI file.

🔐 Note: Some directory settings are greyed out — they can only be configured at the department level.

📌 Important Guidelines

✅ Users must have write access to all defined paths in their Personal Folder.
⚠️ If paths are invalid or write access is missing, a warning dialog will appear at login.
📝 All settings are saved to:
```
\\GGPWIN\LICENCES\LOCK\CLIENT\<Department name>\<GGP User ID>.INI
```
Example: \\GGPWIN\LICENCES\LOCK\CLIENT\Admin\ANDREW.INI

✏️ How to Edit Directory Paths

You can update a user’s directory in two ways:

Manual Entry: Click in the textbox and type a valid path.
Browse: Use the folder icon next to each field to select a path.

💡 Double-clicking the path toggles between environment variable format and mapped drive letter format (if applicable).
🔒 The UNC checkbox is only available when editing department-level directory settings.
