    Visibility

    Select Local to have user visible only within your organization. Select Global to have user visible by your organization and the manager.

    Note:
    The default system locale and time zone after installation and startup is English (United States) at UTC. The system uses UTC for its time zone calculations the UTC default cannot be changed at the system level. However, all users can change the time zone that is displayed within the Community Console.

    Once the Hubadmin user logs into the system for the first time, it will pickup the system locale and time zone (English, UTC). Since the Hubadmin user is the super-user responsible for system configuration, the Community Console locale and time zone selected by the Hubadmin user will become the new default for all Community Console users. Individual users also have the option of changing their locale and time zone as needed.

  5. Click Save.
