Settings

Settings contains platform-wide configuration that administrators can review and update from the UI.

Open Administration > Settings.

Working With Settings

Settings are grouped by area. Each row shows:

• setting label
• setting key
• optional description
• current value
• default value

Users with update permission can edit a value and save it. Use Reset to discard unsaved changes for that row.

Secret settings use a secret selector so the plaintext value is not shown.

Value Types

Settings can use different input types:

• boolean checkbox
• text field
• long text area
• integer field
• one-value-per-line list
• select field
• secret selector

String-array settings accept one value per line. Empty lines are ignored when saving.

Mail SMTP encryption is selected from None, TLS, or SSL.

Saving one row updates that setting only. Validation errors are shown on the edited row.

User Session Event Recording

audit.record_user_session_events controls whether Windows user logon and logoff events are added to endpoint History. It is disabled by default to avoid retaining user-session activity unless your organization's data-protection policy permits it.

This setting only controls History recording. Logon and logoff job triggers, configuration-profile checks, jitter, coalescing, and trigger variables continue to work when recording is disabled. Direct user information used while processing an unrecorded event is cleared when processing finishes.

Changing the setting affects events finalized afterward. Disabling it does not remove History entries that were recorded earlier; normal endpoint-history retention still applies to those entries.

The deployment default can be set with ORDYN_RECORD_USER_SESSION_EVENTS; an explicit value saved in Settings takes precedence.

Guidance

Change settings deliberately and document operational values outside Ordyn where your organization requires change control.

If a setting affects integrations, verify the integration after saving.
