Templates play an important role in maintaining different permissions for different levels of users. You can create as many templates as required to suit your needs, which can then be used in creating user accounts by just specifying the user names. To create a user template follow the steps below:
Click the AD Mgmt tab.
Click the Create User Template link available under Create Template. This opens the Create Template dialog.
Specify a name and description for the template.
Specify the values for User Profile attributes. Note: Selecting the option "Automatically append numbers starting from 2, if there are any duplicate names" will enable to create duplicate names prefixed with numbers. Example: If you try to create a user named 'john' which already exists, ADManager Plus will duplicate the name with 'john2' and so on.
Select the Account Details tab and specify the account properties.
Select the Contact Details tab to specify the contact information about the user.
Select the Exchange Server tab to specify the exchange attributes
Select the Terminal Services and specify the terminal services attributes.
After specifying all the attributes as required, click Save Template.
The templates thus created will be available in the bulk user creation wizard from where you can select to apply templates for the users.
For details on the user attributes, refer to the Microsoft Documentation here and here.

Viewing/Modifying User Templates
To view or to modify the user templates,
Click the AD Mgmt tab.
Click the View User Template link available under Create Template. This will list all the templates that were created.
To modify the template click the template name
or the icon to open the Modify User Template dialog.
Modify the attributes as required and click Save Template.

Note: The modification to the attributes will not modify the user attributes of the users created prior to modification of the template. This applies to the users created henceforth using this template. |
User Creation with Advanced Permissions: While creating User template you can assign advanced permissions and share properties, and eventually all the users created with those template will bear those permissions.
You will find these advanced permissions available in the following places:
Advanced features in User Creation:
For Profile path:
Profile path specifies a Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) name, such as \\Server\Prof$\%username%, to be the network folder where the user's roaming profile is stored. This way, user's roaming profile is downloaded to whichever workstation he logs onto and it is uploaded back to the server when he logs off. The dollar sign ($) in the Prof$ sharename makes it invisible so that users don't browse it.
Configuring the property "Profile path":
"Profile path" attribute can be found in the "Account Details" tab of "Create Template" wizard.
While specifying profile path click on 'Permissions' adjacent to it, this will open a window for profile path settings.
check in the box to Create Profile Path Directory before user first login
you can add more permissions by selecting the tab 'Permissions' to Add More Permissions'.
This leads you to set of options where in you can allow a selected user or group or computer, to have permissions like full control, read attributes, delete etc, over folder and its descendants.
Click on Add.
Check in the Box below to Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects.
For Home folders:
Home folders and My Documents make it easier for an administrator to back
up user files and manage user accounts by collecting the user's files
in one location. If you assign a home folder to a user, you can store
the user's data in a central location on a server, and make backup and
recovery of data easier and more reliable. ADManager Plus
has provided some special features that helps in quickly configuring these
properties for the user.
