Creating Access Only (Audit) Repositories
Access Only repositories can be used by corporations to search all messages in an IAP domain that
contain a specific email routing rule. Access Only repositories are not subject to retention periods or
auto deletion. Access Only repositories do not have retention periods and cannot preserve items
beyond retention periods assigned to other repositories associated with the email item or document.
The audit repository is designated as an Access Only repository and as such, is not subject to a
retention period.
Figure 4: Confirmation Box When Creating Access Only Repository
An audit repository is not created automatically during the time of installation. This repository is a
concept or best practice that must be manually created by the services personnel during installation or
by the system administrator. Once created, this repository allows Customers to conduct compliance
searches across an IAP domain.
Clicking the Add Repository button from the Account Manager page on the PCC again presents us
with the “Adding a repository entry” form. This time we select the repository “Type” of Access Only.
When selecting the Access Only type of repository, we are immediately prompted with a confirmation
box instructing us to “Only use Access Only type for repositories with audit purpose” as shown in
Figure 4.
