3.12 Managing the User Self-Administration Feature
The User Self-Administration feature allows users to directly manage their own account
information without requesting help from an administrator. This feature enables users to change
their password and, if the Procmail subset (IAEPROC) is installed, users can enable vacation
mail. Additional administrative options allow administrators to selectively enable or disable
different functionality. For example, you can allow users to change their passwords but not
enable vacation mail, or vice a versa. You can also use the Administration utility to create a
template to add your own functionality.
