A COS specifies which things and how they may be accessible by a web client, as well as the default for a variety of choices. A user who belongs to that COS can subsequently adjust some of these parameters using the web client’s Settings page.
To make a COS, click the CREATE NEW COS button and name it. Then, using the left-hand menu, you may adjust all of the parameters.
Features are settings that give or deny the user access to the most often used components of Carbonio CE, both via browser and mobile apps. Some of them can be activated or disabled by CLI; for more details, see the section Setting Features via CLI.
Preferences
Preferences are made up of general choices for each component (Mails, Calendar, Contacts).
- The first is the default language for COS members to use, which includes the locale. The remaining alternatives are concerned with
- Carbonio CE’s default look on web clients: For instance, if e-mails are presented as dialogues, or if the calendar displays a month or a work week.
- the feature’s default settings or behaviour, such as whether new e-mail contacts are automatically added to Contacts or how frequently to check for new e-mails
- which functionalities the user has access to: For example, if the user is permitted to forward e-mails or whether a filter may be created to forward certain e-mails.
- The default behaviour for delivering the read receipt to the e-mail sender: send it all the time or ask each time
Server Groups
On this page, you may choose which servers new users can be added to the COS.
Advanced
The Advanced Option lets you customise user quotas, passwords, restrictions, and more.
The user quota is a collection of parameters that limit how much space a person may take up on the server or the number of contacts he can have. It also has the ability to deliver periodic warnings when the user space exceeds a predefined threshold.
Password settings allow you to customise the length, characters, and duration of user passwords. Common passwords might also be rejected.
The Failed Login Policy allows you to specify how Carbonio CE should behave when a user fails to log in. When three consecutive login attempts fail within 30 minutes, a normal policy may lock the user out for one hour.
