I'm trying to setup default users and interfaces for Aecosimm SS5 Building Designer and microstation
Our office has some old schooler's which will use the 2D extensively and rarely venturing into 3D but it seems too hard for them to change the user when starting either of the programs and I used to have the ability (microstation/Triforma) to set up default users separately - aecosim seems to provide only 1 instance to set the default user.
Any suggestions ?

You can certainly create new Users in ABD and set configuration variables as needed, but I'm not sure which specific aspects you'd like to control in order to provide a "2D" environment for them?
I'd suggest simplification User for where your folders are and nothing else. Your standards.cfg to set anything you need particular to your company. And let them create 2d or 3d from seeds you have set up. Let the front end be no different so it is the same thing they are familiar with. Let the 3d be different when they open the file with a set ACS that mimics 2d for 2d work. this would be standard with ABD. Then give them a class in ABD for a floor plan in 3d
