How to enable Bracket for a domain
Bracket can be enabled for any active domain in the console. You can enable this during domain setup or later for a specific group of users.
Enable During Domain Setup
To enable Bracket when you set up a domain, you will:
- Navigate to the Mailprotector console at emailservice.io
- Click the "Domains" tab while on the Reseller level
- Click the "Add Domain" button to create a new customer and domain.
Note: If a customer already exists, you'll create a new domain under that customer.
- Input the customer name and domain; then, you will toggle on the "Bracket" icon in the "Products" section of the setup page. This will have Bracket enabled for the entire domain once it is created.
Enable For Domain or Group After Setup
To enable Bracket after a domain is set up, the manager account must have Administrator privileges. Any other role will be unable to edit services since it creates a significant bill adjustment to the domain.
To enable Bracket after a domain is already set up, you will:
- Navigate to the Mailprotector console at emailservice.io
- Navigate to the domain you wish to add Bracket to
- From the "Overview" page, select the "Products" graphic
- Select the group you wish to add Bracket to
- Click the Bracket icon
- Click the "Update" button
This will have enabled Bracket for the specific group you selected. If multiple groups need Bracket, you can repeat this process for each group.
