ArchiveWeb now supports option to manage the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations. User can create a retention change request (for Exchange and/or Files items) via context menu. When the request is created, approver(s) get email notification and can review the request. User who created a request is informed via email notification once approver has processed the request. User (who has appropriate permission) can follow the requests in ArchiveWeb by clicking on Retention tab. User can see open, approved and denied requests and also the history.
Approver(s) except of these read-only functions (opened, approved, denied requests and history) have ability to export all items from request to ZIP file, denied the entire request and approve (all or selected) items from request.

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

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.
