Step 2: Set Match Criteria

If the block option is set, the sender cannot send any email containing mentioned entities, if the force request send is disabled user needs to get approval from the concerned admin and then send the email.

If the "Force Request Send" option is enabled by the admin for a particular user, the user will have the ability to send emails forcefully. The admin has the flexibility to define the maximum number of times a user can initiate a force request send and set the frequency (daily, weekly, or monthly). Additionally, the admin can assign other admins within the system to oversee and manage these requests.

To encrypt the sensitive email data for the user, the admin must select the "Encrypt" and click "Next" to proceed.

  • Click on next after selecting the user.

Step 4: Set Notifications

  • Enter the notification details, including the admin email address where notifications should be sent.

  • Select the notification channel.

  • If you want to notify the owner of the resource, check the ‘Notify Owner’ box.

  • You can use the "Unified Notification System" to choose when the notification is sent—either immediately or at the end of the day.

  • Click ‘Next’.

Step 5: Review and Save the Policy

  • Review the policy details. If any changes are needed, click ‘Back’ to make updates.

  • Once the review is complete, click ‘Save & Finish’.
