If You wish to Delete a Shared 
Item
 (Phase 2) 
If you delete a shared user or holiday 
(under Shared Groups in the tree, or 
within a specific account), the 
deletion will affect all accounts 
associated with the shared item. 
Community Groups, however, cannot 
be deleted if presently assigned 
anywhere. 
(To remove an account assignment: See 
step 4A.) 
------------------------- 
Then, right-click within the 'row' for 
the specific item, and select Delete 
from the pop-up menu. When asked to 
confirm, select Yes. 
Phase 1: Account-Specific Data 
1A: Misc. Account Settings 
Feature Set: 
"Shared Users" are supported only for specific 
panel "Feature Set" values: 
  Beginning with V4.7: Feature set 2 or 
higher. 
 Director V4.2 - 4.6x: Feature-set 2, 3, or 4. 
To enable the required screens, go into the 
"Account Information" screen for each account, 
and change the "Feature Set" value if needed 
(also see the "Technical Notes"). 
Related Setting: AccountName Account Information 
Standard See: "Account-Wide Panel Settings". 
"PIN Mode" and "User Logon Mode": 
Shared users can only apply to accounts set 
for the same "PIN Mode" and "User Logon 
Mode". Ensure these are set appropriately for 
each account that is to support shared users.

Setup See: "Account-Wide Panel Settings".  
1B: Set up any Custom User Fields for 
Shared Users 
Shared users can have up to 20 custom 
information categories (user fields) as usual 
(such as: position, department, vehicle 
plate, etc.). However, for shared users, 
these fields can be "single-line edit" only 
(i.e., values are typed in instead of being 
selected from a list). 
How this is implemented
: 
 If the accounts are defined with 'single-line 
edit' user fields, any user-field values for the 
shared users will apply to the assigned 
accounts. 
Note: In this case, user-field values will also be 
updated for all applicable accounts if changed for a 
shared user in any one of the accounts. 
 For any accounts with some other type of 
custom user fields (e.g., multi-line edit, or 
drop lists), the custom user-field data is 
retained and managed separately within 
each account, and any shared 'custom-
user-field' data will be ignored. 
Steps / Detail 
Custom-user-fields for shared users are 
initially configured separately for each account. 
To implement shared 'custom-user-fields', 
these fields must be defined with the same
