These values are automatically applied to new user accounts. Users can later adjust them in their own profile.

⚠️ Admin-only visibility: This feature is available exclusively to system administrators.

✨ Tip: Set practical default values (e.g., Country = Germany, Language = German) to reduce the workload in user management.
💡 Best Practice: Document your chosen settings in the internal IT wiki to ensure transparency for your team.
