Default Role

The Default Role is assigned automatically to users that have not been assigned a Role. This process is carried out by GFI Archiver when new user mailboxes are added. The Default Role is assigned after GFI Archiver checks:

1. If user has been assigned a role

2. If user is part of a group that is assigned a role

If both steps are not confirmed, the Default Role is assigned automatically to users. The Default Role is read-only and can neither be deleted nor modified.

The Default Role is configured with the following permissions:

Option Description Default permissions status
