User options in MacroView DMF and Message can be configured individually by changing settings in the Options dialog or they can be deployed to users using Group Policy or a configuration file in the resource Library. If settings are deployed using Group Policy, these will take precedence over any settings defined in the configuration file in resource library.
Any setting that have been defined in the configuration file will then be disabled (greyed out) in the Options dialog so the user is unable to change them.
Deploying the settings
To deploy the user options via the Resource Library you need to upload a JSON file named UserOptions.json.config containing the settings to the Config folder in the resource library defined under Options>Support>Central Configuration Location. 
If the resource library does not contain a Config folder you can simple create a new folder with this name.
UserOptions.json.config file syntax
The userOptions.json.config sytax requires a JSON format.
Boolean value accepted are: false, "false", "False", 1 or "1"
Examples
"LanguageCulture": "en-AU",
"DeleteOnSave": false,
"ChildNodesToTriggerFilter": 200,
"SaveAttachmentType": 1,
The UserOptions.json.config file fails to parse (and is therefore ignored) if the JSON file is invalid. This is for example the case when using True or TRUE instead of a boolean true but not when using a string value "true" instead of a boolean true.
You only need to include entries for the settings which you wish to lock down.
Specials note regarding personal email filing rules
When deploying personal filing rules via configuration the file all quotation marks (") within the XML string must be escaped with a backslash as quotation marks are reserved characters in JSON.
