Stop recipients forwarding or printing

To restrict what colleagues can do with a mail, open Classic compose, click the settings icon (hover text Advance settings) and, under User Rights, tick Do not Reply, Do not Delete, Do not Print or Do not Forward. Recipients in your organisation then cannot do those things in XgenPlus. Rights work only for internal recipients and need permission from your admin.

Common questions

Can I use rights on mail to Gmail or other outside addresses?

No. Rights work only for recipients on your organisation's XgenPlus. XgenPlus asks you to remove other recipients first.

Can I change the rights after sending?

Yes. Open the mail in Sent and use Rights to change or remove them.

Why can't I see User Rights?

Your domain admin must enable the Rights feature for your account. Once it is enabled, using it is your choice.

For admins

Administrators control this feature for the whole domain:
