Enabling or disabling access to the HCL Connections Mail Plug-in

To let users see the mail and calendar icons in HCL Connections, add users to the mail-user role that is associated with the common application. You can enable this feature for all authenticated Connections users.

Attention: Known issue. After completing the following procedure, the mail and calendar icons still show for users without "mail-user" roles. This issue has been reported and is set to be fixed in an upcoming release of HCL Connections. For more information, see the support article Enabling or disabling access to the HCL Connections Mail Plug-in does not work as designed.
