ArchiveWeb now supports General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations.
Users with the requisite permission can create a retention change request for archived Exchange and Files items from its context menu. When a request is created, approvers get an email notification and can review the request. Users who created a request are informed through an email notification once an approver has processed the request. Users and approvers can track the requests in ArchiveWeb from the Retention tab. Users and approvers can see open, approved, denied requests and request history. Additionally, approvers can export all items from a request to a ZIP file, deny the entire request and approve all or selected items from the request.
To use all retention features, a working SMTP server is needed, however SMTP is not mandatory for retention functionality. The SMTP service is used to send notification emails to approvers and retention requesters.

As default, only the super-user specified in Archive Manager for Exchange or Archive Manager for Files (see note below) can access ArchiveWeb and all its functions. If another user/group should be able to manage roles, super-user can allow access for them in the following ways:
·in ArchiveWeb under logged on user / Manage settings / Permissions
·in Archive Manager for Exchange Administration Center on the Tools / Options / User Roles the given user has to be added with Modify roles option checked
·in the Archive Manager for Files Administration Center on the Settings / User management tab the given user must have the User management permission allowed
Please note: Super-user is specified in:
·Archive Manager for Exchange Administration Center / Tools / Options / User Roles)
or
·Archive Manager for Files (Enterprise Manager / Settings / User management)
Roles and Permissions pages allow permission management on user/group level. Individual users can inherit permission or can be granted direct permissions. The priority of permissions follows this order:
1.Direct permission defined for a user (blue highlight under Permissions) on a server
2.Global direct permission defined for a user (blue highlight under Permissions)
3.Inherited permission (yellow highlight under Permissions) on a server
4.Global inherited permission (yellow highlight under Permissions)
5.Default settings (no highlight under Permissions)
All defined permissions apply only for the given instance of ArchiveWeb.
On these pages you can allow or deny access to ArchiveWeb features and menu options for individual users or groups, i.e. allow or deny roles. Under Roles, users are assigned to roles. Under Permissions, roles are assigned to users.
The Roles page displays permissions categorized by roles. These permission sets can be granted to users and groups either globally or by server and location. The Roles page helps you revoke or grant a specific permission to one or more users and groups. See the Permissions page to revoke or grant one or more permissions to a specific user or group.
Steps to access the Permissions page
1.Log in to ArchiveWeb.
2.From the main menu, click the username dropdown and then select Manage settings.
3.From the local toolbar, click Roles.
Steps to grant a permission to users or groups:
|
NOTE: If the UseGlobalPermissionsForAllServers key is set to true or this key does not exist in the web.config file, the Roles page lists Global settings. In this case permissions for users and groups are set globally and are applicable to all servers. If the UseGlobalPermissionsForAllServers is set to false in the web.config file, all available servers will be listed and permissions can be set for users or groups for a selected server or location. Using this option can slow down the login process because all accessible servers and locations must be searched for role assignments. |
1.Either click Global or select a server to display the permissions in the right-hand pane.
2.Select a permission from the right-hand pane. In the Group and Username section, Default indicates the default settings for this permission. Specific users and groups can be added to this section to change their default permissions setting.

a.Click in theGroup and Username section.
b.In the Find Users or Groups window, enter a group or user name in the search field.

To search for Microsoft 365 users, select Office 365 user and then search for the user.
c.Select the users or groups to add. You can use Select all to add all users and groups in the search result.
d.Click OK to add the selected users and groups to the permission.
