Managing Organizations via the Admin Panel¶

Important

To use LinkPoint Connect(ME) Admin panel, special access permissions are required. To request the permissions for your organization, contact Connect(ME) support team by email. Please note that Admin panel access is only granted to Enterprise customers: the Panel provides tools for managing a big number of end users and some of its key settings it includes duplicate LinkPoint Connect(ME) Customization and Sync settings on Admin level.

In LinkPoint Connect(ME) Administration Panel context, an Organization is a group of Users with shared basic settings which cooperate in a shared Salesforce space.

The Organizations tab of Administration Panel provides mechanisms for defining synchronization configuration for an Organization.

Note

In the current implementation there is no way to limit the access rights for Admin Users, so an assigned Admin User can manage users in all Organizations locally.

Organizations List View¶

On the Organizations tab, you can see the following columns:

ID (this column is hidden by default)
Name
Mailbox Access Type
Synchronization Status
Actions

A filter by each column can be applied to the list. To do that, click the Expand more icon next to a column name and select the action you need:

Sort Ascending
Sort Descending

Click the ☰ (Menu) icon on the right to add or remove columns; you can also clear all filters by selecting the Clear All Filters item in this menu.
Note that no bulk actions on Organizations are supported.

If synchronization is enabled and running, organization info on the list is displayed in black font color. If synchronization is not set up or is suspended for the whole Organization – it is displayed in red font color.

	Disable Synchronization. Suspend synchronization for the user. If the synchronization is suspended for an ordinary User, it can be resumed from the User Dashboard.
	Force Synchronization. Standard synchronization interval is set to 30 minutes. The user can manually trigger synchronization outside of the standard sync schedule by selecting the Force Synchronization action, but no sooner than 1 minute after the last attempt to trigger a sync. This is done to avoid service overload in case of multiple consecutive “Force sync” requests.
	Reset Mailbox. Request LinkPoint Connect(ME) to remove user customization and keep synchronization disabled. Once synchronization is enabled again, the first synchronization attempt will apply customization to the user’s mailbox.
	Check User's Exchange Impersonated Access. Appears if Exchange Impersonation is set up for a user; initiates a check of impersonated mailbox access.
