The
rules feature lets you define actions and notifications that are triggered by
specific events. You can set up rules to prevent or allow actions (such as
downloading a file or creating a folder) and to send notifications via email,
pager or SMS.
Rules
can be applied to any combination of users and user groups.
There
are three types of rules:
§
Failed
Login Rules
can be configured to trigger a notification and/or disable a user account after
the specified number of failed login attempts. For more information, see Creating a Failed Login Rule.
§
Folder
Action Rules
are used to trigger a notification when a user performs a specified folder or
file action on the server, including uploading a file or folder, downloading a
file or folder, renaming a file or folder, deleting a file or folder, or
creating a folder. Folder action rules can be configured to execute when one of
these events succeeds and/or fails. For more information, see Creating Folder Action Rules.
§
Quota
Limit Rules are
used to govern the amount of disk space and the number of files users can
upload to their home folders. For more information, see Creating a Quota Limit Rule.
