Configuring resource profiles (server mode only)
If your FortiMail unit operates in server mode, the Resource tab lets you create resource profiles, which configure miscellaneous aspects of local email user accounts, such as disk space quota.
 
This submenu appears only if the FortiMail unit is operating in server mode.
For more information on settings that can be applied to email user accounts, see “Configuring local user accounts (server mode only)” and “Configuring user preferences”.
To access this part of the web UI, your administrator account’s access profile must have Read or Read-Write permission to the Policy category. For details, see “About administrator account permissions and domains”.
