Managing User Accounts
Assigning Features to User Accounts
The USERS-->User Features page lets you specify which features your users can control from their 
quarantine interface. 
The following table describes the settings on this page.
User Features Description
Quarantine 
Enable/Disable 
Ability
Determines whether your users can enable/disable their quarantine inbox. If you 
set this value to No, all messages are quarantined based on:
• The quarantine type configured on the BASIC-->Quarantine page, or 
• The per-domain quarantine type configured on the ADVANCED-->Advanced 
Domain Setup page. For more information, refer to Managing and Configuring 
Domains on page 54.
Note: If you Set this value to No, the quarantine settings configured by the user do 
not take affect.
Spam Scan 
Enable/Disable 
Ability
Determines whether your users can enable/disable spam scanning of their 
incoming messages. If you set this value to No, all users’ messages are scanned 
for spam based on:
• The settings configured on the BASIC-->Spam Scoring page, or
• The per-domain settings configured on the ADVANCED-->Advanced Domain 
Setup page. For more information, refer to Managing and Configuring Domains 
on page 54. 
Note: If this value is set to Yes and a user has disabled spam scanning, that user’s 
spam scanning will be re-enabled when you change Spam Scan Enable/Disable 
Ability to Yes. 
Notification 
Change Ability
Determines whether your users can change how often they receive the quarantine 
summary notification. If you set this value to No, all users receive notifications 
based on the frequency specified in the Quarantine Notification setting on the 
BASIC-->Quarantine page.
Note: If this value is set to Yes, and a user changes their notification interval, that 
user’s change is preserved when you change the Notification Change Ability to 
No.
Whitelist/
Blacklist Ability
Determines whether your users can add email addresses and domains to their 
personal whitelist and blacklist. 
Note: If this value is to Yes and a user adds entries to their whitelist and blacklist, 
those additions are ignored when you change Whitelist/Blacklist Ability to No.
Scoring Change 
Ability
Determines whether your users can change the levels at which their messages are 
tagged, quarantined, or blocked. If you set this value to No, all messages are 
scored based on: 
• The settings configured on the BASIC-->Spam Scoring page, or
• The per-domain settings configured on the ADVANCED-->Advanced Domain 
Setup page. For more information, refer to Managing and Configuring Domains 
on page 54.
Note: If this value is set to Yes and a user changes their spam scoring, that user’s 
changes are not preserved when you change Scoring Change Ability to No.
