Who is this article for?

Users and Admins who want to wy they should create a Ideagen Mail Manager Enterprise administration site.

No elevated permissions are required.

This article explains the purpose of the Ideagen Mail Manager Enterprise / OnePlace Solutions Administration site.

1. What is the administration site

The Ideagen Mail Manager Enterprise administrations site is a SharePoint site that holds central settings for your Ideagen Mail Manager Enterprise.

Everyone's Ideagen Mail Manager Enterprise software can get the below features from the administration site:

• Some settings and configuration (from a configuration profile)
• Some shortcuts, links and locations (from solution profiles) 
• custom searches and lists (from solution profiles)
  
  

2. Admin site URL recommendation

For best practice and minimal configuration changes, it is recommended to use the URL "OnePlacesolutions" when setting up the OnePlace Solutions Admin site.
For example - https://yourtennant.sharepoint.com/sites/oneplacesolutions

It is not recommended, however, If you choose another name for the site, you must let your Customer Success Manager know so we can update this in our account settings so your profiles will work.

3. Do I need an administration site?

No, you do not need an administration site to use the software.

This only helps if you want to setup links, settings, shortcuts and have these settings all deploy out to all users. 
If everyone is happy setting up the software themselves, you do not need and administration site.

You can do this in several ways detailed below:

2. You can deploy the client application with MSI switches that apply your Admin site URL automatically as detailed below:
   Deploying the Desktop software - Enterprise Deployment instructions – Ideagen Mail Manager • Enterprise | Help | Ideagen Luminate
3. For the Ideagen Mail Manager Enterprise web app the admin site URL is tied to your subscription ID.
