A user template (or user-defined template) defines an arbitrary collection of capabilities, templates and rules to which you want volumes of a certain type to conform. For example, you might want all volumes that you create to store database tables to share the same reliability and performance capabilities, and also that they only be allocated from a restricted set of storage.
It is useful to create user templates if you regularly create volumes with similar capabilities.
Example user templates shows some examples of user templates that might be created.

Provides an extremely high-performance volume that is suitable for a database index. |
As for templates, each user template can have a number of adjustable parameters that you can use for tuning the characteristics of the created volumes.
A user template is not directly associated with a storage pool. Its association is implied by its reference to capabilities and templates.
