Hello Gavin,


You can follow the below steps to change the default value of the time zone-

1. Go to the configuration-> Identity management-> Internal-Built-in


2. Now go to the Profile section and see the time zone field, set a value to your use case and save it -


So, every time you create a new user the default value is Africa/Johannesburg in the timezone.



Thank you

Hello Gavin,


By default the timezone is 'Etc/'GMT for evey user but if you want to change it just after creating a new user then you can go to the DB table 'idm_user' in the repository schema and then change the timezone accordingly which will be reflecting to the user-



Thank you

how can the default be changed to not be ETC/GMT?
