 ### Setup
-#### Policy template
-* You may want to restrict a user from accessing certain libraries (e.g 4K Movies), or display their account on the login screen by default. Jellyfin stores these settings as a user's policy.
-* Make a temporary account and change its settings, then run `jf-accounts --get_policy`. Choose your user, and the policy will be stored at the location you set in `user_template`, and used for all subsequent new accounts.
+#### New user template
+* You may want to restrict a user from accessing certain libraries (e.g 4K Movies), display their account on the login screen by default, or set a default homecrseen layout. Jellyfin stores these settings in the user's policy, configuration and displayPreferences.
+* Make a temporary account and change its settings, then run `jf-accounts --get_defaults`. Choose your user, and this data will be stored at the location you set in `user_template`, `user_configuration` and `user_displayprefs` (or their default locations), and used for all subsequent new accounts.
 #### Emails/Password Resets
 * When someone initiates forget password on Jellyfin, a file named `passwordreset*.json` is created in its configuration directory. This directory is monitored and when created, the program reads the username, expiry time and PIN, puts it into a template and sends it to whatever address is specified in `emails.json`.
 * **The default forget password popup references the `passwordreset*.json` file created. This is confusing for users, so a quick fix is to edit the `MessageForgotPasswordFileCreated` string in Jellyfin's language folder.**
