Setting permissions on Outbound E-mail Folders

This topic describes how to set permissions on Outbound E-mail Folders. Outbound E-mail Folders are Folders that are used to organize Segments in the Audience Manager node and Mailings and Distribution Lists in the Outbound E-mail node.

Before you begin

The following table describes the rights required to set permissions on the Root Outbound E-mail Folder in the Audience Manager node or Outbound E-mail node:

About this task

You set Read, Write, and Delete Permissions on Outbound E-mail Folders to determine what actions users can perform on the items for which they have rights:

  • In the Outbound E-mail node, permissions determine what actions users with Distribution List Management, Mailing Management, or Mailing Execution rights can perform on Distribution Lists, Mailings, and Outbound E-mail Folders.
  • In the Audience Manager node, permissions determine what actions users with Segment Management rights can perform on Segments and Outbound E-mail Folders.

You set permissions on the Folder Security tab. An E-mail Publication has a root Outbound E-mail which behaves differently than other sub Outbound E-mail Folders. For example, you may not delete the root Outbound E-mail Folder.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Audience Manager node or Outbound E-mail node in a Publication.
  2. Select a Folder and choose Properties from the context menu.
  3. In the Security tab:
    1. In the Users and Groups pane, select a User or a User Group
    2. In the Permissions pane, select the permission check boxes you want to assign to this User or User Group.
  4. Click Save and Close.

Results

The user or User Group permissions are modified. Users that are members of the group are now subject to the rights specified by the group.
