Enable or Disable Archiving for Users

Topic Last Modified: 2011-01-31

You can change the settings of a user policy to control whether archiving is enabled for internal instant messaging (IM) communications and external IM communications of specific users. A user policy can be assigned to users defined in Users. For details, see Apply an Archiving Policy to a User or User Group in the Deployment documentation and Operations documentation. You can also enable or disable archiving globally and for specific sites by configuring the global policy and by creating site policies. For details, see Configure the Global Policy for Archiving and Create a Site Policy for Archiving, both of which are available in the Deployment documentation and the Operations documentation.

Note:
In order to configure and use archiving, you must first install the Archiving Server and the archiving database. For details, see Deploying Archiving in the Deployment documentation. To configure archiving support, you must enable support for each type of archiving you want to support, configure and, if appropriate, assign policies and configure other options to control how archiving is implemented. For details, see Managing External Connectivity in the Operations documentation.
