I found the Django time zone setting in the mayan/settings.py file around line 43.
I changed TIME_ZONE = 'America/Puerto_Rico' to TIME_ZONE = 'America/Edmonton' After making this change, and rebooting the VM, the Document Properties "Time added" for files still appear to display the time in the wrong timezone, i.e., in AST timezone instead of MDT timezone. I have been unable to upload a new file to check if the "Time added" property now shows the local time when the file was added. This will make it difficult for users in different time zones to determine the temporal relationships between their local files and uploaded file. A partial solution might be to add timezone information ot the displayed Document Properties "Time added".
