Creating email users

Enter email users for Active Directory user accounts. Active Directory user accounts can either have a mailbox or be mail-enabled. If a user account already has a mailbox, you must delete the mailbox before you set up an email user for this user account.

NOTE: It is recommended to use account definitions to set up e-mail users for company employees.

  • In order to create email users through account definitions, employees must have a central user account and obtain the IT operating data through assignment to a primary department, primary location, or a primary cost center.

To create an e-mail user

  1. In the Manager, select the Active Directory | E-mail user category.

  2. Click in the result list.

  3. On the master data form, enter the master data for the user.
