Re: Set up many users on many computers with a single mail-in DB

How about setting up a "Generic User" as a roaming user and then have each
person log in as that "Generic User"? That should address the need for
multiple people using the same account and for each person to be able to
log in from various computers.

Hope this helps.

What do you do when you need a few users on different computers to have
access to one mail file (shared mail file) but don't need their own email
address.

We just seem to have more and more storeman working on different shifts
out
in our warehouse who need access to an email inbox but don't actually need

their own email accounts. These people move around the store and can work
on
any computer through the day.

I was thinking of registering each user but setting the mail type to *NONE

and then in the mail field of their person doc pointing to the mail-in DB.

But is also seems a waste to register each user as the mail use is so
limited. How does the licensing work for users? Is it each registered
user?
Could you have just one registered user and all these people use this one
account on many different computers to access the mail-in DB? This would
be
heaps easier to manage now with the ID Vault and password syncing.

Hope this explanation is good enough.

Thanks

Nathan
