IMPORTANT: Changes to User object properties are implemented immediately.
Task-Oriented Management |
||
Allows the administrator to give the current user rights to create, import, modify, or delete user accounts in the domains and contexts designated in the associated Parent object. For more information, see the Novell® NetMail® Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation. NOTE: All task-oriented management functions are enabled by the Modular Web Agent Task Management Module. Although the module itself has no configurable options, to provide TOM functionality via WebAccess, it must run on the messaging server.

Parent Objects |
The Parent object(s) with which the current TOM administrator is associated. In the WebAccess interface, the TOM administrator is able to create, modify, delete, or import users in the Global or Hosting Domains associated with the selected Parent object(s). User objects are created in the NMAP context(s) designated in the Parent object. For more information, see the Parent object's Managed context properties.

Allow User Creation |
The TOM administrator can create User objects in the NMAP context(s) listed in the Parent object. If multiple contexts are listed in the Parent object, NetMail equally distributes new User objects between the contexts. In creating the user account, the TOM administrator can select one of the domains listed in their Parent objects Managed domain names property. Use this domain to create the new users Internet e-mail address (username@domain). If the TOM administrator selects multiple domains when creating the user, the User object is created with the first domain name and Alias objects are created with the subsequent domain names. For example, if the TOM administrator selects domains abc.com and 123.com when creating a user account for jotero, the User object is created as jotero@abc.com. The Alias object, jotero@123.com, points to jotero@abc.com. IMPORTANT: Inform all TOM administrators that extended characters cannot be used in Internet e-mail addresses. If a TOM administrator creates an e-mail address with an extended character, the corresponding user cannot log in to the messaging system or receive messages. Every User object created by a TOM administrator is automatically associated with the Parent object that corresponds to its assigned domain.

Allow User Import |
The TOM administrator can import users using comma-delimited, ASCII files. The new User objects are created in the NMAP context listed in the Parent object. If multiple contexts are listed in the Parent object, NetMail equally distributes new User objects between the contexts. Note: TOM Administrators can associate new User objects with a Parent object en masse by importing lists of users in the TOM administration menu in WebAccess. IMPORTANT: Enable Domain Settings (see below) must also be enabled before the TOM administrator can import users. The first line in the import file is a header row of sorts. It specifies the attributes you are importing and the order you want them to appear in the user records. Of these attributes, the first three are fixed.
Aside from these fixed attributes, the import file can include any datanot just WebAccess-specific attributes. For example, the first line or header row of the import file can appear as follows: Username, Surname, Password, First name, Middle Initial Following the header row are the user records. Each line represents a different user record. The data in each record is delineated by commas and must appear in the order designated in the header row. Using the header row from the previous example, a user record would appear as follows: simon@test.com, Roberts, ih8beets, Simon, T

|
Allow User Deletion |
The TOM administrator can delete users from the NMAP context(s) selected in the Parent object. When a TOM administrator deletes a user account, they are given the option of removing the user's mailbox and all associated directories.
|
|
Enable Domain Settings |
The TOM administrator can define default user attributes. These attributes are applied to all users created or imported in any of the domains designated in the Parent object. IMPORTANT: This option must be enabled before the TOM administrator can import users.
