5.2. User Accounts

In AXIGEN, account and user management has several features that give you full and easy control of administered accounts while enabling you to fine tune resource allocation for each of these accounts.

Note that in order to create an account, you need to first create a domain. For details on how to create domains in AXIGEN, see the Creating a New Domain section.

Two administration tools allow you to create domains and accounts:

• WebAdmin - also gives you access to all advanced account configuration parameters, see Manage Accounts Tab
  
• CLI - see Configuring AXIGEN using CLI for more details

Account settings in AXIGEN are available at the following levels:

• General

You can define as many accounts as allowed by your license type, and for each of these accounts, as many aliases as you need.
At the account level, you can also specify the services to run. This is a distinctive feature of AXIGEN, as you can easily selectively restrict access to one or more services (i.e. WebMail) for certain users within one domain.
You can also view the current mailbox size for an account, specify the mailbox quota for accounts and limit the number of messages sent per hour from that account.

See Accounts General Page for information on how to configure general domain parameters using WebAdmin.

•  WebMail

For account behavior in WebMail, AXIGEN provides a variety of parameters allowing you to set attachment size and number limits, mail size limits, the maximum number of simultaneous sessions, and the HTML filtering level for email messages. You can make special settings for one account or use the one inherited from domain level.

See Account WebMail Options for information on how to configure WebMail parameters using WebAdmin.

• Filtering

For each configured account, you can add and activate any number of filters. This way you can implement different security policies for different accounts
For general information on filter types available in AXIGEN, see Mail Filtering
For detailed information on how to configure filters, see Managing Message Filters

Further advanced settings, defining Inbox folders, limits and quota for each user account are also available in the Manage Acconts Tab

Accounts can also be added using the Command Line Interface, but the best option for account configuration is WebAdmin, which gives you access to all the categories of parameters mentioned above.
