The first thing you will see on the user manager page is a summary of existing users. This summary includes the username, name and the enabled options for each user.

Depending on the platform/version you are using, you may see a dialog box indicating how many mailbox accounts are in use and how many are available. The Enterprise Edition allows you to purchase additional mailbox licenses to incerease the number of users who have can send/receive mail on the server.

Tips and Tricks

Secure Shell (SSH)

Secure Shell (SSH) access option was removed in 4.0 as a security precaution. Most users do not need SSH access, and yet, many end-users would select all options, not knowing the risks. To enable SSH access for a user, login as root and type:

passwd <username>
usermod -s /bin/bash <username>
