The Message Center 137
Enable Access for an Org
To enable Message Center access for an org, you make sure access is enabled at
the user level. Then turn on the appropriate permissions for the org:
1. Go to the org’s User Access page (from the org’s Management page, click
User Access).
2. Check boxes as desired to allow users to view and modify certain aspects of
their service at the Message Center (see “Control What Users Can View and
Modify” on page 138).
3. For each user in the org, and for the org’s Default User, make sure Message
Center Access is Enabled at the user level. Do this via User Access on the
user’s Overview page.
• Don’t change other User Access settings for individual users unless you
intend to manage that’s user’s permissions separately from other users in
the org.
• Ignore other User Access permissions for a Default User, as they don’t
apply. New users receive these settings instead from the org’s User
Access, not from the Default User.
4. Enable the Welcome New User notification for the org.
This sends new users a Welcome email containing a URL and password for
logging in to the Message Center. You might also want to enable other
notifications, as well. See “The Message Center & Notifications” on page 143.
Disable Access for an Org
To disable Message Center access for all existing users in an organization, you
must edit each user account to switch Message Center Access from Enabled to
Disabled. To disable access for multiple accounts at once, you can use a use a
Batch command.
To disable Message Center access for all new users you have not yet added to an
organization, edit the Default User template to disable Message Center access.
For details about the Default User template, see “Manage Default User
Templates” on page 63.
Next, disable the Welcome New User notification for the org. Otherwise, new
users will receive a Welcome email with a URL and password for logging in to the
Message Center, but when they try to do so, login will fail. You might want to
disable other notifications, as well. See “The Message Center & Notifications” on
page 143.
