Administration
Users with the Admin role see an Admin section in the sidebar. This page covers the tools you have there.
Roles
| Role | Can do |
|---|---|
| User | Use Delivr: connect mail accounts, read and send mail, manage their own settings and API keys. |
| Admin | Everything a user can, plus manage all user accounts on the instance. |
Managing users
Admin → Users lists every account on the instance with its role.
Create a user
- Choose to create a new user.
- Enter a username, display name, email address, and an initial password (at least 8 characters).
- Choose the role.
Share the credentials through a secure channel and ask the user to change the password after signing in.
Edit a user
Change a user's username, display name, email address, or role. Role changes take effect immediately, including in sessions that are already signed in.
Reset a password
Set a new password for a user who is locked out. This signs the user out of all sessions. Alternatively, if system email is configured, users can reset their password themselves from the sign-in page.
Delete a user
Deleting a user signs them out everywhere, revokes their API keys, and removes their Delivr account together with everything stored for it: connected mail accounts and their encrypted credentials, sender identities and signatures, folder mappings, and preferences. Their mail is not affected — it stays on their mail servers.
What administrators can see
Delivr is designed so that even administrators can't read other people's mail through the app:
- Admins manage accounts, not mailboxes. There's no feature to open another user's inbox.
- Mail-account passwords are stored encrypted and are never shown in the interface or returned by the API.
- Delivr stores no copies of emails, so there's nothing to browse in the database either.
Sign-ups
By default, only admins can create accounts. Keep it that way for private instances: leave NUXT_PUBLIC_IS_SIGNUP_ENABLED set to false.
Good practice
- Keep the number of admins small, and use a separate, non-admin account for your everyday mail if you like.
- Remove accounts of people who leave your organization.
- Review the Production Hardening checklist from time to time.
