User Groups & Permissions
- The 'User Groups & Permissions' area lets you create email user groups and set group permissions.
- You can create multiple groups, each with different permission levels. When you assign users to a group they will inherit the permissions of the group.
- The user interface will vary according to a user's permission level. See 'Manage Permissions for Users' in 'User Account Management' for help with this.
Create user groups
- Click 'Account management' > 'User groups & permissions':
Two user groups, Power User and Users (Default), are available by default. These two groups cannot be edited or deleted.
- Click a group name to view its permissions in the right-hand pane:
- Click the arrow next to a permission to view sub-permissions:
For users in the 'Power User' group, all permission levels are enabled. The 'Release quarantine messages' option is not available to users in the regular 'Users' group. This means that if a user is assigned to the 'Power User' group, he / she can release quarantined messages from the quarantined mails list without approval from an admin. See Released Requests in 'Email Management' for more details.
