Applying a Template to a user
=============================
This article provides instructions on how to apply a template to a user.
Only Super Admins, User Admins, and Users with User Admin access can apply multiple templates with different settings to the user. Template settings override the corresponding existing user configuration. There is no option to remove a template once applied to a user. An admin would need to either manually change the settings or create and apply another template to change the settings.
