1.1. First steps as an administrator
As an administrator you have to do the following steps before you can start to provisioning the new feature to the business users.
Step 1
Assign the workcenter Email integration to your user role within the standard user administration along with its two views.
The view ‘Groupware settings’ will give you access to the admin features.
The view ‘User settings’ will give you the features which you need as a business user.
As a result you will see a new workcenter ‘Email integration’ with the two views.
Since you are an admin your user will automatically provisioned for the server side outlook integration. Therefore an admin user will never show up in the provisioning tab but always in the user tab from the beginning.
Step 2
Check the pre-delivered settings and adopt them if required.
In order to do this, a general understanding on how to provision users is required and will be explained now…
The user provisioning is done as follows:
Grant users access to the email workcenter
-
Assign the Workcenter ‘Email Integration’ and ONLY the view ‘user settings’ via the standard user administration.
Provision users within the admin view ‘Groupware settings’
-
choose the users you want to provision from the list of all C4C users. Then you assign them to an Organization (will be explained later in detail). The Organization determines the Mailbox access type
