Each user that you create on your ParaChat Server has its own user profile that contains the configuration information for the user. User profiles are located in the "users" directory (...\ParaChat\ParaChat570\users\username.profile) of your ParaChat Server. A user profile is automatically created in the "users" directory when you create new ParaChat room admin users, or utilize a room profile to simply password-protect a user's name. Below is a listing of important user configuration parameters, and their function. User profile files are simple text files that can be edited using a text editor.

Feature	Configuration parameter	Defaults / Values / Examples
User's password	pchatd.password	Example: pchatd.password=mypassword (don't use spaces)
User's privileges	pchatd.privlevel	Values: superuser (server admin user)
Spam detection	pchatd.spam_detection	Values: true or false
Commands that are executed as soon as you log in to the server (before you log in to the room).	pchatd.onconnect	Example: pchatd.onconnect=%chat fgcolor green;chat bgcolor black;beep enter on Sets user preferences on colors and fonts for the chat client. (Must start with %.)
Maximum idle time before user is disconnected.	pchatd.max_idle_time	Example: pchatd.max_idle_time=600 time is in seconds (600 seconds = 10 mins)

admin.profile (configuration file for a server admin)
# profile for user sue
pchatd.password=secret
pchatd.privlevel=superuser
pchatd.max_idle_time=3600
