Notifying users when shared login is activated or deactivated

You can display a pop-up window to notify users after shared login is activated or deactivated on their Notes® clients. The pop-up window can display a standard system message, or a system message along with your own custom message.

Procedure

  1. Open the Security Settings document used for the shared login configuration in edit mode, and click the Password Management > Notes Shared Login tab.
  2. Depending on whether you are activating or deactivating an account, complete these fields in either the Activation Notification section or the Deactivation Notification section to control how to notify users when shared login is in effect on their clients:
