Use the set-prefs operation to change preferences common for all users of the certain site. These settings automatically will be set for a new user added to the site. Web users preferences are of more priority than web users settings. For more information on the settings, refer to the Retrieving Web Users Settings, and Web User Settings/Preferences sections.

Request Packet Structure

A request XML packet updating preferences of web users includes the set-prefs operation node:

<packet>
<webuser >
   <set-prefs>
   ...
   </set-prefs>
</webuser>
</packet>

The set-prefs node is presented by type WebUserSetPrefInputType (webuser.xsd), and its graphical representation is as follows:

• The filter node is required. It specifies the filtering rule. For more information, refer to the Available Filters section. Data type: WebUserOwnFilter (webuser.xsd)
• The values node is required. It specifies preferences of a site. For more information, refer to the Preferences section. Data type: WebUserPrefs (webuser.xsd)

Remarks

You can update preferences of web users using different filtering rules in a single packet. Add as many set-prefs operations as the number of different filtering rules to be used.

<packet>
<set-prefs>
...
</set-prefs>
...
<set-prefs>
...
</set-prefs>
</packet>
