Managing iFolders

Use this interface to manage the ownership, policies, and membership of a selected iFolder for an iFolder user account on the given iFolder domain. The search tool helps you locate the account you want to manage.

Note: When you are logged-in as a secondary administrator, you can view only those iFolders that are owned by users for which you are designated as a secondary administrator. Also, you can manage the iFolders only depending on the rights available to you to manage the iFolders.
