3.1  Users

In the Accounts → Users section, you can manage user accounts for Kerio Workspace. Use these accounts for:

If you map users from a directory service, all mapped users will be displayed, however, you will not be able to edit them. Always edit user accounts in the directory service.

Note

When you delete a user or a group, you can select another user or group that will inherit the access rights to the content. Bear in mind, that deleted users are not deleted from the server and you can later restore their accounts.

Add users

Click on Add.

  1. On the General tab, enter the username (without spaces or national characters) and user password.

  2. Full name is also required because it is displayed in your Workspace.

  3. We also recommend to enter an email address in case the user decides to be sent news feeds from Workspace to their inbox.

  4. The User can change their password option is available only if the user has a local account. Users mapped from a directory service cannot change their passwords in Kerio Workspace.

  5. You can temporarily disable accounts by unchecking the Account is enabled option. For example, if a new employee is about to take up work in your company, you can prepare their user account in advance. If the account is disabled, the user cannot login to or work with Kerio Workspace.

  6. On the Rights tab, you can set the access rights:

    • No access to administration — the user can access their Workspace but cannot log in to the administration.

    • Read only access to administration — the user can access their Workspace but can log in to the administration.

    • Full access to administration — the user can access their Workspace and becomes the program's administrator.

    Content admin has special rights in Kerio Workspace. This option is not related to the administration. It allows the user to see and manage all content which user created in Workspace (html pages, text files, images, videos etc.).
