Explanation:
The users and user groups are arranged on the Account Unit in the tree structure of the LDAP server.
User management in User Directory is external, not local. You can change the User Directory templates.
Users associated with this template get the changes immediately. You can change user definitions manually in SmartDashboard, and the changes are immediate on the server.

Explanation
Deployments
Basic deployments:

Assume an environment with gateways on different sites. Each Security Gateway connects to the Internet on one side, and to a LAN on the other.
You can create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) between the two Security Gateways, to secure all communication between them.
The Security Management server is installed in the LAN, and is protected by a Security Gateway. The Security Management server manages the Security Gateways and lets remote users connect securely to the corporate network. SmartDashboard can be installed on the Security Management server or another computer.
There can be other OPSEC-partner modules (for example, an Anti-Virus Server) to complete the network security with the Security Management server and its Security Gateways.

To make your changes available to other administrators, and to save the database before installing a policy, you must publish the session. When you publish a session, a new database version is created.
