4️⃣Creating User Accounts
Creating our user accounts to access the archive.
Solar Archive has multiple level of user accounts, in this guide we'll setup two different level's of users - Privileged and Data Guardian user types. We'll briefly go into these user types below, if you'd like to dig into more detail please see the Managing Users section.
🕵 What is a Privileged User?
Privileged Users are also called e-Discovery Users, are users who are able to search across the archives and do their e-discovery investigations. This user can search across all emails in that Solar Archive system (or that Solar Archive company, when in multi-tenant mode) unless one or more searchable domains are added. Any searches made by Privileged users will raise an audit transcript that is sent to the Data Guardian(s).
👮 What is a Data Guardian User?
A Data Guardian is, in Solar Archive, an email address to which transcripts of administrator access and privileged user searches will be sent. At least one data guardian must be added, before adding any local user accounts.
Note: For versions 9.0.2 and above, different guardians for each of administrative or privilege usage audit transcripts can be specified.
Setting up a Privileged User
Let's proceed to setup a privileged user for our archive.
Navigate to Basic Configuration > Local User Accounts.
Click the Create New Account button.
Enter / Select the required values in the fields. Refer to the table below for field names and descriptions.
Review all the values that you have entered / selected and click Save Changes.
The user account will be created and the password for the account will be displayed on the screen.
Setting up a Data Guardian User
Now that we've setup a privileged user that can search the entire archive, let's setup a Data Guardian to police those actions.
Navigate to Basic Configuration > Data Guardians.
Look for the Data Guardians Section
Enter / Select the required values in the fields. Refer to the below field descriptions.
Click Add
Review all the values and click Save.
The data guardian will be created and they will now have access to data guardian features.
