Automatically set up the available technologies for every user

[TonyC]

Is there a way to automate the setting of the different technologies on the Manage Technologies dialog? I want to make it really really easy for my user community to be defaulted to a much smaller subset of all the available technologies without them having to go through the dialog and set manually the ones that I want them to have / not have. Currently, it appears that the Manage Technologies is specific to user but applies across all repositories. Is there not a way for the administrator to set this up on everyone's behalf?

Yes, you can make your own perspectives, and then create perpective groups that you can link to user groups.

Each user group can have a different group of perspectives (or like we do,  a group with a single perspective containing only the technologies we use)

Many thanks Geert, I will leave the Manage Technologies dialog alone for now. I appreciate that restricting technologies can be achieved by restricting perspectives. I will concentrate on ensuring that my user groups are set up with restricted perspective sets (or a single set with only the technologies we use, as you suggest).

Regards,
