User

The User tab lets you set basic user settings. The tab consists of two sections: User, 2-factor authentication

Figure. User level management: User tab.

Field

Description

Alias

  • A unique identifier for the account within this domain. This alias becomes part of the user's email address.

Example: Entering an alias of Support into domain of MyDomain.com would give this user an email address of Support@MyDomain.com.

  • Multiple aliases can be used by separating them with semicolons:

Example: support;help;bugs;info - meaning that messages to any of these accounts will be delivered to this one mailbox.

Warning: Maximal length of this field is limited to 255 characters. If you want to use more aliases, you can use a pattern.
Syntax:
Alias: <primary_alias>; <[pattern_name]>Example:
Alias: support; [support_aliases]
For more information, refer to the System Node Reference > Advanced > Patterns chapter.

Phone #

Here you can enter the number for the user's unique SIP phone.

Multiple phone numbers are supported, delimited with semicolons.

Username

This is the IceWarp Server identification name of the mailbox, which is used for authenticating access to the IceWarp Server services unless authentication is set to the Users login with their email addresses (Policies > Login Policy). In this case Alias is used (plus the appropriate domain is added).

Username is usually the same as the Alias of the account, but does not have to be.

Note: Regardless of the previous information, EAS always uses alias (plus @{domain}) as a username.

Note: It is recommended not to use whole email addresses as usernames. In the case you want to rename a domain, you have to change domain parts of addresses manually or use SQL manager to perform mass changes.

Name

The user's real name or an identifier of the account.

This field is used by WebClient and can be changed there (User's avatar > Options > Accounts > Name). The Name can be found in the "From:" header. It is shown to users that receive emails from WebClient.

Description

Enter account description.

Password

The password for the mailbox.

Cloud plan

In case you have license with the Cloud Plan enabled you can choose from Lite, Standard, Standard+ or Professional plan for the selected user.

The : button

Press this button to let IceWarp Server generate a random password for you. IceWarp Serverwill generate a password according to the password policy. If you have the password defined under Domains & Accounts > Policies > Password Policy.

Permissions

Click the button to set access rights for the account where emails are forwarded to. It is possible to set rights for either whole email account or selected folders (Inbox, Contacts, Calendar, etc.).

For detailed information on permissions, refer to Permissions Tab and also see below.

Photo

Click the field to reveal the Open dialog and insert a user's photo.

Note: This photo (as well as one in the IW WebClient - My Details dialog) can be synchronized from a directory server. In this case, the figure is expected to be stored within the LDIF attribute of thumbnailPhoto (AD default) in the JPEG format. (Other formats supported by AD - e.g.: PNG - are not fully supported by IceWarp Server, though WebClient can display them correctly.)

2-factor authentication

This field informs you whether 2-factor authentication is enabled for the user and what type of authentication is set-up (SMS or via authenticator).

Click the Reset... button if you want to reset user's 2-factor authentication setup.

Reset button is disabled if 2-factor authentication is not configured. Then you can see label "Not enabled" in both lines - 2-factor authentication and SMS authentication.

Permissions

Click Permissions button to see list of folders: TeamChat, Groupware and IMAP.

Figure. User tab: Folders view.

Field

Description

Permissions

Click the button to set access rights for folder subscribers. The Permissions dialog appears, see further.

Auto subscribe

Click the button to confirm the auto subscription of selected folder (mailbox or group).

Note: When user A shares his mailbox (group) with user B from WebClient, the latter will get a confirmation email. Once user B confirms, the shared mailbox (group) will appear in his folder tree.

However, when user A shares his mailbox (group) from Administration console, user B will not get any confirmation email (it is not generated by Administration console). Therefore user A has to click the Auto subscribe button to automatically complete the confirmation process. It allows the mailbox (group) to automatically appear in the folder tree of user B.
