## 8.4 Editing multiple users

Kerio MailServer allows for mass editing of user accounts. Simply use the mouse pointer to select accounts and click Edit.

The dialog window regarding mass modification of user accounts consists of four tabs where quota and user access rights parameters as well as other settings (user description, authentication type, password format settings, etc.) and user restrictions can be edited for the selected users.

Figure 8.13. Mass change of user accounts

In this dialog window, only items and parameters that will be changed en bloc for all selected accounts are set. Three status modes are available for the Store password in highly secure SHA format and Account is disabled options on the General tab that can be switched by checking/unchecking the checkboxes:

- inactive, grey — the former settings will be kept in the accounts,

- checked — the item will be enabled in all accounts selected,

- unchecked — the item is disabled in all accounts selected.

The first status (inactive) is available only if set differently for the accounts included. If all account are set in the same way, only the checked and unchecked options are available.

The Rights, Quota and Restrictions tabs can be edited in the same way as while editing their parameters for individual accounts.

Example:

One of the typical cases where mass change is helpful is setting maximal size of outgoing/incoming mail. The Kerio MailServer administrator set maximal size of outgoing mail (for one message) for the company.com to 20 MB. However, some users need to send larger attachments.

Kerio MailServer enables selecting users of the domain by `Ctrl` and the mouse pointer. Simply select accounts of the company.com domain and set a new value for the outgoing mail on the Restrictions tab.
