5 User Actions
GFI MailEssentials uses Active Directory groups to determine what is displayed to logged in users when
they login GFI MailEssentials. If the currently logged in user is part of the Administrators group, then
GFI MailEssentials loads with all the configuration options that enable setting up GFI MailEssentials. If
the currently logged in user is part of the users group, then GFI MailEssentials loads with only a
limited number of options that enable the currently logged on user to administer his/her own
quarantine and the personal whitelist/blocklists. The url used to login GFI MailEssentials is always the
same one, regardless of whether the currently logged on user is part of the administrator or user
Active Directory group.
This topic explains what users can do when they login using a user (non Active Directory
Administrator) account.
NOTE:
User actions are only available if GFI MailEssentials is configured to use IISmode. For
more information, refer to User interface mode (page 227).
