Managing Users And Exchange Mailboxes

You can view and manage existing users on the Users page in HostPilot. The Users page lists the existing users and types and the services enabled for each user. You can also work with users and service settings if you click the Settings button under the respective service.

Overview

User types

The icon next to the user's display name shows the type of user.

  • No icon - regular user. The user does not have any specific properties set. The user is active, but can be removed; user settings can be changed; services can be enabled or disabled for this user (See "Example User" in the screenshot above.)
  • - SharePoint Owner. Once SharePoint is installed, all users can access the site, but only one user is the SharePoint Owner. This user cannot be removed. (See "Sharepoint Administrator" in the screenshot above.)
  •  - Disabled mailbox. When a mailbox is disabled, the user cannot log in to the mailbox until it is enabled by the administrator. (See "Former Employee" in the screenshot above.
