Policies

Policies tab lets you enable or disable selected services for the user. These settings are also considered by the licensing engine when comparing the license size with the amount of activated user seats – only user accounts are licensed.

Note: You can select multiple users from the middle panel in Management using Shift+click and Ctrl+click to perform a bulk modification.

Figure. User level management: Policies tab.

Field

Description

Services and System options

Check the services you want to enable on the user level.

Note: Checkboxes are enabled only if the accesses to services are granted on higher levels (domain).

Note: To enable activation keys for IceWarp Outlook Sync and/or IceWarp Desktop Client, it is necessary to have checkboxes under the {domain} > Services tab checked first.

Note: After upgrade from 10.3.x to 10.4 in the case the previous access mode was Accounts from the list, the appropriate services appear disabled here, but settings are kept. To find out these settings, use API Console (global level – File menu) – filter variables using the filter value of processinggroup.
In the case the Advanced mode was used, users will have their modes set to [service_user10.3.x XNOR service_domain10.3.x] in 10.4.

Note: In the case an account is created as POP3 one, you will not be able to check even the Desktop Client > Activation Key checkbox (besides other boxes in this section). If you want to provide the DC license to the appropriate user, set his account to POP3/IMAP at least temporarily.

SyncML push settings

This button opens the Device dialog that lets you set the SyncML Push settings.

SMS account settings

This button opens the SMS Account dialog where you can set SMS account options.

Activation keys

Clicking this button opens the License dialog (see below) that allows you to transfer activation keys for IceWarp Outlook Sync and IceWarp Desktop Client to the user. The Activation Keys can be distributed by the following means:

  • Email, click Activation Keys... and Send Key to User by Email

  • Available to the user from WebClient > ⚙Options > Licenses

  • Automatically installed by SmartDiscover with no user intervention

Once you have obtained a license with some amount of possible client activations (see Help > License...), check Outlook Sync > Activation Key or Desktop Client > Activation Key checkbox for users that should be allowed to activate the corresponding application. This will automatically generate an Activation Key for the user and make it available by SmartDiscover and WebClient.

You need to check the Activation Key checkboxes in the Services tab on both the domain level and the user level to have the Activation Keys generated automatically. You can still have them unchecked on either level and generate activation keys manually in Activation Keys... – Generate Key.

Note: Unchecking the checkbox will not unregister an already licensed application, it will only disallow the distribution of the Activation Key by SmartDiscover and WebClient.

Outlook Sync policies

Click the Policies button to open the Policies dialog.

Here, you can set provisions for the appropriate IceWarp Outlook Sync user. It is possible to Force settings (not possible to change by users) or to Set as default (users can change these recommended values).

For example, evaluation accounts can be created by limiting a number of sent messages to 10 and/or setting a 7 day expiration.

Note: Even if set on the domain level, this limit is applied per user. Exmple: if set to 1000 on the domain level, each domain user can send 1000 messages per month (unless the user has set this limit individually).

Number of sent messages this month (Auto adjusted)

The use is two-fold:

  2. Counter reset. Type 0 or any other value and click OK to reset the monthly counter.

Number of sent messages previous month (Auto adjusted)
