User Preferences

The Preferences page holds the interface settings that control how CIPP looks and behaves for you, along with defaults used elsewhere in the application. Most settings on this page can be saved either for your own account or for all users of the instance, chosen from the Actions card before saving. Where a setting is saved for all users, an individual user's own preference takes precedence over it.

The page opens on whichever scope currently applies to you: your own settings if you have saved any, and the all-users settings if you have not.

General Settings

Setting	Description
Default usage location for users	The country pre-selected as the usage location when creating a new user. Required.
Default Page Size	How many rows tables show per page by default, chosen from 25, 50, 100, or 250. Required.
Default test suite on the Home page	The test suite whose results are shown on the Home page by default, chosen from your saved test reports.
Added Attributes when creating a new user	Additional user attributes to make available on the new user form. Anything selected here appears as an extra field when creating a user. The available attributes are consentProvidedForMinor, employeeId, employeeHireDate, employeeLeaveDateTime, employeeType, faxNumber, legalAgeGroupClassification, officeLocation, otherMails, showInAddressList, and sponsor.
Save last used table filter	When enabled, the filter you last applied to a table is remembered and re-applied the next time you open it.

Default Page Size sets the starting value only. An individual table's own rows-per-page control offers 500 as well, and choosing it there applies for as long as you stay on that page.

Navigation Settings

Setting	Description
Show Sidebar Bookmarks	Shows your bookmarked pages in the sidebar.
Show Popover Bookmarks	Shows your bookmarked pages in a popover opened from the menu bar.
Bookmark Reorder Mode	How bookmarks are reordered: with Arrow Buttons, or by Drag and Drop.
Compact Navigation	Reduces the size of the navigation menu so more of it fits on screen.

Offboarding Default Settings

Sets which offboarding options are pre-selected when you offboard a user, so that routine offboardings do not have to be configured each time. These are defaults only and can still be changed for an individual offboarding.

A label on the card indicates which defaults are currently in effect: Using Tenant Defaults, Using User Defaults, Using All Users Defaults, or Using Default Settings where none have been saved.

Setting	Description
Convert to Shared Mailbox	Converts the user's mailbox to a shared mailbox.
Remove from all groups	Removes the user from every group they belong to.
Hide from Global Address List	Hides the user's mailbox from the address list.
Remove Licenses	Removes all licences assigned to the user.
Cancel all calendar invites	Cancels the meetings the user has organised.
Revoke all sessions	Signs the user out of all active sessions.
Remove users mailbox permissions	Removes the permissions the user holds on other mailboxes.
Remove users calendar permissions	Removes the permissions the user holds on other calendars.
Remove all Rules	Removes the inbox rules on the user's mailbox.
Reset Password	Resets the user's password.
Keep copy of forwarded mail in source mailbox	Where mail is being forwarded, retains a copy in the original mailbox.
Delete user	Deletes the user account.
Remove all Mobile Devices	Removes the user's registered mobile devices.
Disable Sign in	Blocks the user from signing in.
Remove all MFA Devices	Removes the user's registered multi-factor authentication methods.
Remove Teams Phone DID	Removes the phone number assigned to the user in Teams.
Clear Immutable ID	Clears the user's immutable ID.
Disable OneDrive Sharing Links	Disables the sharing links the user created in OneDrive.

A Send results to section chooses where the outcome of an offboarding is reported, with options for Webhook, E-mail, and PSA.

Portal Links Configuration

Chooses which Microsoft portal shortcuts appear in the tenant information flyout. All are enabled by default; switch off any you do not use to shorten the list.

The available portals are M365, Exchange, Entra, Teams, Azure, Intune, SharePoint, Security, Purview, Power Platform, and Power BI. The Manage Tenant entry is always shown and cannot be switched off. See Tenant Select.

Developer Options

Diagnostic options intended for troubleshooting and development.

Option	Description
TanStack Query Tools	Enables or disables the query developer tools, used for inspecting how data is fetched and cached.
Advanced Views	Enables or disables advanced views, which reveal diagnostic pages that are otherwise hidden from day-to-day use, such as audit-log Search Coverage.

These two take effect the moment you click them, and are not part of what the Save Changes button commits. They are stored in the browser you are using, so they apply only to you on this device and cannot be set for all users.

CIPP Roles

A read-only card lists the CIPP roles held by the account you are signed in as, so you can confirm what your access allows. Roles cannot be changed here.

Saving Your Preferences

The Actions card controls who your changes apply to and commits them.

Control	Description
User selector	Chooses whether the settings are saved for Current User or for All Users. Selecting a different option reloads the page's values to show the settings that apply to that scope.
Save Changes	Saves the settings for the selected scope. The button is unavailable while any required field is empty or invalid, and a message confirms the save or reports an error.
