The Email Settings menu has the following options available under the heading Security.

Enable Role Restrictions Define roles that are able to send to other roles and restrict the type filtering used when searching for recipients. Used in conjunction with User Roles settings. See Email Role Restrictions.
Disable From Address

The email broadcast From field will be Read-Only. Managers are only able to set the From address field to a value other than their own email address.

Recipients Under Association Company Allow associations to act as recipients.
Enable on Behalf Of

Send emails on behalf of the From Address specified; emails will be sent from an instance-specific email address. This is to prevent emails from being blocked. 

For the DKIM Domain field, this function enables DKIM signatures for emails in order to improve their authenticity. The domain entered needs to match the domain of your SmartSimple server. It is currently limited to the following: smartsimple.ca, smartsimple.com, smartsimple.ie, smartsimple.us. The selector name for any of these will be 'dkim.' 

Enable Reply-To

Send emails with Reply-To set to the From Address specified. 

Toggling on this option will allow you to select from a list of set From Addresses, including the following:

  • mailer@smartsimple.com
  • mailer@smartsimple.ca
  • mailer@smartsimple.eu
Enable Default From Address

This email address will be set as the default From email address when composing an email.

Toggling on this option will allow you to fill in which email is the default From address. 

Enabling Role Restrictions

Enable Role Restrictions

If the Enable Role Restrictions check-box is populated then a new Email & Email Broadcast Settings section will appear in the Edit Role screen

Enabling role restrictions limits who the users in that role can send email to. The email address field on new emails becomes read-only. The user must select users from the roles for which they have email permissions.

If a user clicks on an email address of a user that they are not permissioned to send email to, then they will receive the permission message that they don't have permission to contact that individual.

On the role settings the System Administrator can also select which filters will appear for the role. ie: User Filter, Roles, Accounts, etc.

3. To Address - If certain staff or the system administrator needs to be notified of failed emails, the recipient(s) will go here.
4. Subject - Subject of the Email e.g. Failed To Send Emails
5. Body - Body of the Email to recipients.
