Manage email workgroups

Workgroups are useful for organizing users into categories.

1. In the Email section of the Control Panel, click the Email Domains tab.

2. Click the domain whose workgroups you want to view and then click the Workgroups tab.
The Email Workgroups page appears.

This page lists the workgroups in this domain, along with the number of users and the number of mailbox, forward, and filter accounts that are in each workgroup.

Since each workgroup can have its own administrator, you can delegate workgroup-level administration tasks by assigning an administrator to a workgroup.

To assign an administrator to a workgroup

1. Locate the user that you want to administer the workgroup.
For more information, see "Viewing Email user accounts"

2. Click the user name.

3. In the Mailbox User section, verify that this user is a member of the workgroup to be administrated. If not, click Edit and from the Workgroup drop-down list, choose the workgroup that you want this user to administer, and then click Save.

4. From the Actions drop-down list, choose Change Admin Level.

There are two ways to remove a user from a workgroup:

• Assign the user to a different workgroup.
  For more information, see “Adding users to a workgroup” above.
• Delete the user from the system.
  For more information, see "Deleting user accounts".

You can delete any workgroup except the domain's default workgroup. When the domain is first created, the default workgroup is set to staff.

We recommend that you move all of the users out of the workgroup before you delete the workgroup.
