MX Plan - Delegating the management of your email accounts to another person

Objective

By creating a delegation, you can enable an email account user to manage their own features (e.g. changing passwords). These features depend on the type of delegation set up:

• Delegate all of your email accounts to one or more OVHcloud accounts. This type of delegation allows beneficiary customer accounts to manage filters, email auto-replies, redirections/aliases, and mailing lists.

• Delegate one or more email accounts and their filters to a single OVHcloud account. This type of delegation does not allow recipients to manage email auto-replies, redirections, or mailing lists. It also does not allow recipients to delete the relevant email account(s), import emails from another account or manage delegations.

This guide explains how to delegate email accounts for your MX Plan solution.

Requirements

• an MX Plan solution, available as part of our Web Hosting plans, the 100M free hosting, or ordered separately as a standalone solution
