<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I’m unaware of a script, but you could just create a
<b>Default Project</b>. These can be stored at a central location, everyone can access or place on their desktop, which will load all the Layers they require.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If it’s any help, all the connection details are stored under the QGIS user Profiles. On Windows these can be found here C:\Users\<b><i>username</i></b>\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles,
maybe someone here could point out how you might be able to create a single file which can be placed within each users default Profile.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I think though messing with peoples profiles could be problematic, which is why I’d suggest the

<p class="MsoNormal">About to host a PostGIS db on our server, and want users to connect to the db in QGIS.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way I can push out a script (?) to all user's machines that sets the connection to the postgis db for QGIS?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rather than manually entering authentication on each machine?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have one generic role for users as they will be read-only users.<o:p></o:p></p>
