Restricting the Locale
This property allows the CentraSite Administrator to restrict the locale CentraSite Control user interface to users. This setting is available in the Locale field in My Account page.
This setting does not allow users to change their locale settings in the My Account page. Thus, logged on users are restricted to the locales allowed by the administrator.
If you are the CentraSite Administrator, you can define the locales in the Allowed Locale field. Only these defined locales will be available in the Locale field for every other user who logs in to the CentraSite Control.
When User is Restricted with Multiple Locale(s)
If the administrator had restricted to more than one locale, then when a user logs into the CentraSite Control one of the following happens:
If you are an existing user and your locale matches with the allowed locale(s) in
CentraSite Control, then you are permitted to directly logon to the
CentraSite Control.
If you are an existing user and your locale does not match with the allowed locale(s) in
CentraSite Control, then you have to select the allowed locale(s) from the
Locale Settings pop-up.
If you are a new user, then you have to select the allowed locale(s) from the
Locale Settings.
When User is Restricted with a Single Locale
If the administrator had restricted to just one locale, then when a user logs on to the CentraSite Control one of the following happens:
If you are an existing user and your locale matches with the allowed locale in
CentraSite Control, then you are permitted to directly log on to the
CentraSite Control.
If you are an existing user and your locale does not match with the allowed locale in
CentraSite Control, then
CentraSite Control automatically sets the locale and displays that the current locale is modified to match with the allowed locale.
If you are a new user, then
CentraSite Control by default sets the allowed locale.
To restrict the locale
1. In CentraSite Control, click My Account.
2. In the My Account page, select the locale(s) from the Allowed Locales field in System-wide Settings panel.
If you want to specify multiple locales, use the plus button to add additional rows.
3. Select Save to confirm the change.
The changes take effect immediately and you are redirected to the logon page. If you do not specify a locale and cancel the setting, you are still redirected to the logon page.
