Set Delivery Restrictions on Dynasty Groups

Applies To

Directory Manager 11

Overview

Netwrix Directory Manager (formerly GroupID) allows you to set delivery restrictions on Dynasty groups, which are Smart Groups that create and manage other Smart Groups using directory information. Dynasties help manage large distribution lists by creating hierarchical group structures. You can restrict or allow specific users or groups to send emails to a Dynasty by configuring delivery restrictions in the group properties.

Instructions

Prerequisite Settings to Enable

1. On the Dynasty Properties, click the Dynasty Options tab.

2. In Dynasty Options, make sure the Always Inherit option is selected.

   

3. Go to the Admin Center and open the settings of the identity store.

4. Click the Configurations tab, then click the Dynasties tab.
