Managing User Access
You can manage various aspects of user experience with the WebAccess client.
Section 55.1, “Controlling User Access to Mailboxes,” on page 915
Section 55.2, “Setting the Timeout Interval for Inactive Sessions,” on page 920
Section 55.3, “Configuring User Access to WebAccess Features,” on page 921
Section 55.4, “Customizing the WebAccess Interface,” on page 924
55.1 Controlling User Access to Mailboxes
You control which users have access to their mailboxes by creating classes of service and assigning
users membership in a class. For example, if you don’t want users on a particular post office to have
access to their mailboxes through WebAccess, you can create a class of service that prevents access
and then assign the entire post office membership in that class.
The following sections provide information to help you create and manage classes of service:
Section 55.1.1, “Class Membership,” on page 915
Section 55.1.2, “Creating a Class of Service,” on page 916
Section 55.1.3, “Adding Users to a Class of Service,” on page 918
Section 55.1.4, “Maintaining the Access Database,” on page 918
55.1.1 Class Membership
When you create a class of service, you assign membership in the class at a domain level, post office
level, distribution list (group) level, or individual user level, which means that a user could be
assigned membership in multiple classes. For example, a user might be a member in one class
because his or her domain is a member; at the same time, the user is a member in another class
because his or her post office is a member of that class. Because each user can have only one class of
service, membership conflicts are resolved hierarchically, as shown below:
