Creating a Workgroup

Note: Admins and managers can set up workgroups, but workgroup admins cannot create workgroups. Workgroup admins manage specific workgroups according to the permissions set in that workgroup.
  1. To create a workgroup, go to Workgroups > Create New > Workgroup.
  2. Enter a workgroup name and a description of the workgroup.
  3. Set the inbox destination, where packages sent to the workgroup are stored:
    • Server default: Use the server default node and directory.
    • Custom: Choose from a list of local and remote nodes as the default location for your custom inbox.
      • Incoming packages are stored in both the custom inbox and the default server inbox. Deleting packages from the default inbox through the web UI do not automatically remove the same packages from the custom inbox.
      • Use the Upload directly to custom inbox option to prevent Faspex from storing a copy in the default inbox if the workgroup or dropbox is the only recipient of a package.
        Note: If a user sends a package to two workgroups or dropboxes, even if both workgroups and dropboxes are configured to upload directly to the custom inbox, Faspex stores the package on the default inbox and then relays the packages to the custom inboxes.
  4. If you want to forward package to remote destinations, set up file relay. Select Enable Relay. For each desired destionation:
    1. Check Relay.
    2. If you want to overwrite files if they exist on the destination, check Overwrite.
    3. If you want to notify users on relay start, error, or completion, enter a list of usernames or email addresses in the relevant field.

    For more information about file relay, see File Relays.

  5. Set workgroup permissions for sending packages to the workgroup. Restricted is the default.
  6. Set workgroup permissions for workgroup members sending packages to each other. Restricted is the default.
  7. Set permissions for workgroup admins.
  8. Click Create.
