By using Settings, you can specify:
- The language of the Web Interface pages.
- The maximum number of objects displayed in single-page lists.
- The maximum number of list items displayed on a single page in multi-page lists.

Customization
Customization allows you to tailor the Web Interface to suit the specific needs of your organization. The Customization item is only displayed if you are logged on as Active Roles Admin. The Active Roles Admin account is specified upon configuration of the Active Roles Administration Service.
Customization includes the following tasks:
- Directory Objects Modify menus, commands, and forms for administering directory objects. View or change global settings, such as the logo image and color scheme.
- Restore Default Restore the original (default) menus, commands, and forms, discarding all previous customizations.
- Reload Put into effect the menus, commands, and forms that you have customized.
The customization settings determine the configuration of the Web Interface site for all users.
