The User Preferences tab is not available for remote users (eg users authenticated using edir, active dir and so on). If you enable the option Def and Users-> Authentication Servers -> Create users automatically, the mentioned tab should be displayed. So by the way, are you using a remote user/what kind of auth server? [:D]
i use a Windows 2011 SBS Server AD Authentication and have "create users automatically" but no preferences tab ... Or did i get your answer wrong that i can enable it for "remote users" too?
the problem is that i can't switch, for example the rules view to 500 entrys per page [:(]
heiii
hmmm ok i need to talk with the developer and ask him in what conditions this tab does not appear. I couldn't reproduce it (tested with edirectory).
Ill get back to you tomorrow. [:)]
