Assign e-mail permissions

A service provider must assign customer administrators the e-mail capability in the Admin Bundle to allow them to resend the Welcome e-mail, reset passwords, and preview e-mail messages. The automatic sending of the Welcome e-mail on user creation is always set by the service provider.

The e-mail capability in Admin Bundle is required to let the Customer Admin send Welcome e-mails, reset passwords and preview e-mails. If a customer is not assigned with a bundle with the e-mail capability, only the service provider can "login as" a customer administrator to resend Welcome Emails or reset passwords. The customer administrator will not see those actions.

However, enabling or disabling the e-mail capability from the Admin bundle does not affect the automatic sending of Welcome Emails on user creation. The automatic sending of the Welcome e-mail is governed by a checkbox in the add/edit customer page.

Here is a summary of the permissions granted for e-mail templates and messages:

• E-mail template privileges are managed through Operations profiles.

• Only the service provider can create e-mail templates.

• A service provider should not include the e-mail capability in the Admin Bundle assign to a customer if the permission to send e-mail messages is not wanted.

• A service provider configures whether Welcome e-mail messages are automatically sent when a user is created. This will be done while creating the customer.

• A customer can send Welcome e-mail messages only when the Welcome e-mail template is assigned to them by a service provider.

• A customer can resend a Welcome e-mail or reset a password when assigned a bundle with those rights.

• With e-mail rights, a customer can upload instructions when configuring the e-mail template.

The instructions are sent with the e-mail and also appear in the My Services page.

Customize the Welcome e-mail content

You can customize the information in the welcome e-mail and have it automatically sent when a customer adds a new user to the portal. Service providers assign e-mail templates to Customers during Customer creation. Customers can then use the templates to send automatic e-mail messages with relevant information. For example, sending a reminder e-mail message when a password is reset.

Access to the Welcome e-mail feature is granted through:

• Any operations profile with the permission to create customers has access to the Welcome e-mail feature.

• All the Admin bundles that allow you the creation of users has access the Welcome e-mail.

To customize the Welcome e-mail:

1. Configure the username in the subject of the e-mail and choose whether the name has a suffix or a prefix.

2. Add a custom header and footer. Headers and footers can contain HTML content.

3. Customize the e-mail message as required. You may want to include a note for user who will install additional MiCollab Clients (for PC, Mac, or Mobile) that they will receive one or more additional e-mails with instructions for installing the MiCollab Clients on the various platforms.

4. Choose the options to include in the e-mail for the user, for example the user name, password, links to application downloads and so on. Only the selected options appear in the e-mail message and the Services page.

5. (optional) Upload setup instructions that you want to send as an attachment.
