    You can set default settings that are mandatory for all users when added. You can learn more about the settings in our manual or video How to customize Settings for the Plagiarism Check.

  • User configuration

    If you click on the configure user settings button, you can set a default organizational configuration for your users and groups. The modifications of this configuration may influence the configuration of the groups and users in your organization. You decide which options are available to the groups or users in each setting. You can reset the changed options by clicking on the reset button.

    Choose one of the following setting rights:

    1. To hide settings: the user cannot see them.
    2. To be visible only: the user can see but not change them.
    3. To make the setting editable.
    4. To apply options to existing and new users: all users will get the same setting and will not be able to change it anymore.

      Each setting has several options. If you want to enforce them, just check the box: Apply to existing and new users. The settings will only be visible to users - they cannot change them. We will use the setting Languages as an example to demonstrate how this works. First, you have the possibility of choosing one of the following options: English, German, Spanish, French. When you enforce one of the languages, then all (existing and new) users will be set to this language and will not be able to change it. The Languages setting will therefore merely be visible to users.

  • Set limited PlagPoint Usage

    1. Click on the module of a selected user.
    2. Select unlimited if the user should receive unlimited PlagPoint usage.
    3. Select limited if you want to limit the user’s PlagPoint usage.
    4. Enter the PlagPoint limit in the column "Limit".

    Your balance is indicated in PlagPoints. One PlagPoint is equivalent to 100 words.
