The Group Properties page is opened from the Groups page and is used to configure the settings for each of your account groups. Here you can assign an Account Template to the group, allowing you to control a variety of account settings for group members. You can also control whether or not group members have access to MDaemon Instant Messenger (MDIM) and instant messaging, and set a priority level for the group. The Edit Group Membership page is also opened from here, to let you add or remove group members.

Description
This is for a description of the group, for your own reference.
Apply this account template (optional)
If you have created an Account Template that you would like to use to control some of the account settings for group members, use this drop-down list to select the desired template. When an account template is linked to a group, any category of account settings designated on Template Properties will be used for all accounts belonging to the group. The template will be used to control those settings rather than using the individual account settings on the Account Editor. If an account is removed from a group that was controlling its account settings, the settings will revert to the values designated by the New Accounts template.
If an account belongs to multiple groups linked to different templates, then all of the templates will be used wherever there are no conflicts in the designated Template Properties. If multiple templates are set to control the same properties, then the first template listed is the one that will be used.
Active Directory group (optional - must enable AD monitoring feature)
Use this option if you wish to link the group to a specific Active Directory group. Members of the Active Directory group will added to the account group automatically. But for this to work you must be using the Active Directory Monitoring feature.
You can map any Active Directory attribute you want to use as a trigger for adding accounts to Groups, although the "memberOf" attribute will most likely be the one to use. You can configure this by editing ActiveDS.dat in notepad. This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, edit ActiveDS.dat and specify which attribute to use for your group trigger, or uncomment the "Groups=%memberOf%" line in ActiveDS.dat to use it.
Disable MDaemon Instant Messenger
Click this box if you wish to disable MDIM support for all members of the group.
Disable Instant Messaging
Click this box if you wish to allow support for MDIM but not its Instant Messaging feature.
Priority (1-1000 - lower values have priority over higher ones)
Use this option to set a priority level (1-1000) for your groups, which allows accounts to be members of multiple groups and avoid possible conflicts between group settings. For example, when an account is a member of multiple groups that each have a linked account template controlling the same settings, the settings for the group with the first Priority will be used. In other words, a group with a Priority value of "1" will be over a group with a value of "10". When there is no conflict the settings for each group are collectively applied. In the case of a tie the first group found wins. When an account is removed from a group linked an account template, the account settings previously controlled by the account template will change to the account settings designated by the next Priority group. If there isn't another group controlling those settings, then they will revert to settings designated by the New Accounts template.
Edit Group Membership
Click this button to open the Group Membership page for adding and removing group members. To add an account to the group, click the checkbox next to the account you wish to add. To remove an account, clear the checkbox. When you are finished, click Close. You can also add users to Groups from each user's Mail Folder & Groups screen.
Do Not Disturb
Use the Do Not Disturb feature to schedule a time frame during which an account may not send mail or be accessed by its users. Access during a Do Not Disturb period is not allowed and returns an appropriate error response to IMAP, POP, SMTP, ActiveSync, and Webmail access requests. MDaemon will still accept incoming mail for accounts in this state, but those accounts may not send mail or be accessed by mail clients.
To apply Do Not Disturb to one or more accounts:
1. Click Enable Do Not Disturb.
2. Set the start/end dates, the start/end times, and the days of the week to use it.
3. Click Apply or Save and Close.
4. Use the Group Manager to assign any accounts to this group that you wish to use it.
Client Signature
Use this screen to create a client signature for this group that you can push to MDaemon Webmail and MDaemon Connector, to be utilized by your users when composing email messages. You can use the macros listed below to personalize the signature, so that it will be unique for each user, including elements like the user's name, email address, phone number, and the like. If you have created a Default Client Signature or Domain Client Signature, this signature will be used instead of either of those for group members. Use the Push client signature option if you wish to push the client signature to Webmail and the Push client signature to Outlook option if you wish to push it to MDaemon Connector. In Webmail's Compose options, the pushed client signature is called "System." For MDaemon Connector you can designate a name for the signature that will appear in Outlook.
Inserting an Image
There are also several ways you can insert images into a signature:
•Click the "Image" toolbar button in the HTML editor and enter the URL of the desired image, or select the Upload tab to upload one.
•Click the "Add image" toolbar button in the HTML editor to upload an image.
•Drag and drop an image into the text area, using Chrome, FireFox, Safari, or MSIE 10+
•Copy and paste an image from the clipboard into the text area, using Chrome, FireFox, or MSIE 11+
|
<body></body> and <html></html> tags are not allowed in signatures and will be removed when found. |
Signature Macros
MDaemon signatures support macros that insert the sender's contact information into the signature, taken from the sender's contact located in its domain's Public Contacts folder. This allows default and domain signatures to be personalized with the sender's information. $CONTACTFULLNAME$, for example, inserts the sender's full name, and $CONTACTEMAILADDRESS$ inserts the sender's email address. Use Webmail, MDaemon Connector, or ActiveSync to edit the public contacts. Blank values are used if no contact exists for the sender. Available macros are listed below.
Users can control the placement of MDaemon signatures in their emails by placing any of the Signature Selector macros into a message wherever they want the signature to appear.
