Managing the User Self-Administration Feature

The User Self-Administration feature allows users to directly manage their own account information without requesting help from an administrator. This feature enables users to change their password and, if the Procmail subset (IAEPROC) is installed, users can enable vacation mail. Additional administrative options allow administrators to selectively enable or disable different functionality. For example, you can allow users to change their passwords but not enable vacation mail, or vice a versa. You can also use the Administration utility to create a template to add your own functionality.

Note:

In order to administer the User Self-Administration feature, you must have a public Web server instance installed. Without a public Web server instance, the Manage User Self-Administration link will not appear on the Manage Users menu.
