About this task

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. When you set Permissions on Outbound E-mail Folders, users with the following rights can perform actions on items in the Folder:

  • 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.

Procedure

  1. Open Content Manager Explorer.
  2. Navigate to the Audience Manager node or Outbound E-mail node in a Publication.
  3. Select a Folder and choose Properties from the context menu.

    2. In the Permissions pane, select the permission check boxes you want to assign to this User or User Group.
  5. 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.
