Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway

View modes of the application web interface

The application has two web interface view modes: Administrator mode and User mode.

User mode is available to all users in an Active Directory domain that is configured for Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication. The menu displays sections containing personal Backup and personal lists of allowed and blocked addresses if access to them is allowed by the administrator in the Settings → Personal accounts settings. These sections only display information about the messages and addresses of the current user. To view this information, you need to set up integration with the LDAP server. Otherwise, these sections will be available to the user but an error message will be displayed instead of information about messages and addresses.

Administrator mode is available to an application user who has at least one role assigned. The menu displays the sections that the user is permitted to access. By default, administrator mode opens after successful authorization. If necessary, you can switch to user mode for the current user account.

To switch from administrator mode to user mode:

1. At the bottom of the left menu pane, click on the name of the current user.
2. In the pane that opens on the right, turn on the User mode toggle switch.

This opens the main window of the application web interface user mode for the current user account.

To switch from user mode to administrator mode:

1. At the bottom of the left menu pane, click on the name of the current user.
2. In the pane that opens on the right, turn off the User mode toggle switch.

This opens the main window of the application web interface in administrator mode for the current user account.

Idle time in administrator mode is limited at 10 minutes. One minute before this time expires, a notification is displayed about the session that will soon be ended. The administrator can prolong the current session or log out of the program. If no action is taken, the current session is ended when the idle time expires, and the authorization page of the web interface is displayed.
