Administrator Settings
Account is an administrator
When creating or editing a user account, click this checkbox and choose one of the options below if you wish the user to be a Global or Domain administrator.
Global Administrator
Global Administrators have complete control over all settings and options in SecurityGateway, even over other administrator accounts and settings. For this reason you should exercise caution before designating an account as a Global Administrator.
Domain Administrator
Domain Administrators can access all settings and options relevant to the domain over which they have been given authority. They cannot edit global settings or access settings specific to other domains. When designating a domain administrator you must select at least one Available Domain for the user to administer.
Available Domains:
This box lists all of the SecurityGateway domains over which the user can be given domain administrator access. To give the user control over one or more of these domain, select the domains from the list and click the "--->" arrow.
Selected Domains:
This box lists all of the SecurityGateway domains over which the user has been given domain administrator access. To remove a domain from this list, select it and then click the "<---" arrow.
Can Create Domains
Check this box if you wish to allow the Domain Administrator to create new domains for which they will be added as a domain administrator.
Domain creation limit: [xx] domains
When allowing the domain administrator to create new domains, use this option to set a limit on how many domains he or she will be allowed to create.
Mail Delivery
Use domain mail servers
By default, a user's mail will be handled by whichever of the domain mail servers that are assigned to the user's domain. Choose the option below if you wish to choose a specific mail server to handle this user's mail instead of using the domain's assigned servers.
Deliver mail using the specified mail server(s)
If you choose this option, mail for this user will be sent to the specified server instead of to whichever domain mail servers that are assigned to the user's domain.
Available/Selected Servers
If you wish to specify a server to handle the user's mail, select an available server from the list and use the arrow to move it to the Selected Servers.
Click the Aliases tab to designate any aliases that you wish to associate with the user. You can also merge any existing SecurityGateway users that you wish to convert to aliases rather than being separate users.
Aliases:
To assign an alias to the user, enter an email address in the space provided and click Add. To remove an alias from the list, select the desired entry and then click Remove.
Merge Users:
Use the Merge Users option when you wish to convert another user to an alias associated with this user. This is needed in instances where a user verification source mistakenly causes a separate SecurityGateway user to be created when the address is in fact an alias of an already existing user.
You can quickly locate the address you wish to merge by typing the email address in the Merge Users box. The list of users will be filtered as you type, displaying only the addresses that match what you are typing.
"Merge User" Link
In the Merge Users list, click the Merge User link associated with the address that you wish to convert to an alias. The associated address will then be moved to the Aliases list.
