At the same level as the Points, Histories, Schedules, and Alarms folders under a NiagaraNetwork’s NiagaraStation is a user device extension (Users). This extension enables and configures network user synchronization in and out of the station in relationship to the station’s NiagaraNetwork.

No special view, apart from its Property Sheet, manages each user device extension nor is it a container for other components.

The User Sync Manager, accessed by right-clicking the NiagaraNetwork and clicking Views > User Sync Manager), provides an aggregate look at all user device extensions. Each row represents a NiagaraStation. Columns display each station's user synchronization properties.

Under each user device extension is a Sync Strategy property, which defaults to Prototype Required. The alternative to Prototype Required is Use Default Prototype. This option is less desirable for user synchronization.
