Configuring user groups
The User Group tab lets you group related email user accounts.
Email user groups can simplify the creation of policies. For example, when creating policies, you can select the name of an email user group rather than entering each email user name individually.
To access this part of the web UI, your administrator account’s:
• Domain must be System
• access profile must have Read or Read-Write permission to the Policy category
| Alternatively to configuring user groups locally, you can configure the FortiMail unit to query an LDAP directory. For details, see “Configuring LDAP profiles”. |
