On the module's main page, click on the User Interface icon to bring up the interface options form.

In some themes (covered in Section 47.12 “Changing and Installing Themes”), the title at the top of every page is rendered as an image. Because this can make the page slow to download, you can force the use of plain HTML text titles instead by changing the Display titles as text? field to Yes.

By default, every page in Usermin shows your system's hostname and operating system, which you might regard as a security risk. To turn this off, select Nowhere from the Display login and hostname menu, and change the Show version, hostname and OS on main menu? field to No. The first menu can also be used to change the location of system information. It appears by default in the browser status line.

After a user logs into Usermin, they will normally see the main menu listing the various modules and categories. To have users redirected to a specific module instead, select it from the After login, always go to module menu. This can be handy if most of your users use a particular feature, such as the Read Mail module.

Like Webmin, Usermin has a button in the top-right corner of every page for sending feedback. It is disabled by default, but you can turn it on by changing the Allow sending of feedback field to Yes, to address and entering an appropriate address in the adjacent text box. This gives your users an easy way to send you questions or problem reports.

By default, feedback is sent by running /usr/lib/sendmail and passing email to it for delivery. If Sendmail is not installed on your system or you want feedback to be sent via another mail server, select SMTP server in the Send feedback via field and enter a hostname into the text box. This tells Usermin to make an SMTP connection to that host for sending email instead.

Click the Save button at the bottom of the page to activate the new settings.
