Changing the User Default Settings (Default User Preferences)

[Andreas Beekma]

When we change "User Default Settings" afterthought, affect existing user or affect only new users?

How can we change the new default to all user ?

What impact has the button "Apply". Change all Settings or only the "Default outgoing email format" ?

We use the User Directories therefore we don't create a user. Do you now how does the system work?

No. I've never worked on a system like that.

It only applies to users created after the settings are changed. I don't know of a way to change existing users in bulk. Maybe a script using the API.
