Service authority

This function is only available for the Standard and Advanced plans.

Create service authority templates to grant to members with the right fit.

An Authority template is a combination of service authorities. 'Default' is an authority template provided as default to members. You can create new authority templates when you need a combination of service authorities different from the default template.

You can also set the contents of the default authority.

Set default authority

Set service authorities that are applied to members by default.

  1. Select 'Security' from the left to expand the menu and press 'Service Authority' to access the page. On mobile, tap the button to access the menus. 
  2. From the authority template list, press 'Default'.
  3. From the 'Service Usage Authority' field of the 'Authority Settings' page, select the contents of the default authority.
    • Service Usage Authority: Set whether to use the mobile app and the usage environment for each service. Select the device environment to use for each service.
      • To change the values, press 'Edit' at the top right to access the edit mode.
      • Mobile app: Choose whether to use the mobile app. If set to 'Do not use', all services in the mobile app are not available. If set to 'Use', you can select whether to use the mobile app for each service. You must use the Message.
      • Set the usage environment for each service: You can set the usage environment (Mobile web/PC web/PC app) for each service. In addition to the usage environment, you can set whether to use mobile external mail connection, IMAP/SMTP and POP/SMTP for Mail, CalDAV for Calendar and Drive Explorer for Drive.
        To use Message, Calendar, or Task, you must select at least one of the usage environments.

        • Sync external emails: If set to 'Use', you can send and receive emails with the email address provided by 3rd-party such as Gsuite and O365 by syncing it to the LINE WORKS mobile app. This is useful when you want to continue using the existing mail service on the LINE WORKS mobile app. LINE WORKS services such as messages are compatible with the mail service you have been using. However, you have to choose between LINE WORKS Mail and the mail service you have been using as you can only use one of them. Also, to sync external emails, the email address of the external mail service must be the same as the LINE WORKS account (id@domain.com).
        • IMAP/SMTP(Only available for the Advanced plan): Check the checkbox to allow members to use IMAP/SMTP. If you use IMAP/SMTP, you can exchange LINE WORKS email using a mail program such as Microsoft Outlook or iPhone without accessing the LINE WORKS webmail service.
        • POP/SMTP(Only available for the Advanced plan): Check the checkbox to allow members to use POP/SMTP. If you use POP/SMTP, you can exchange LINE WORKS email using a mail program such as Microsoft Outlook or iPhone without accessing the LINE WORKS webmail service.
        • Automatic forwarding(Only available for the Advanced plan): Check the checkbox to allow members to automatically forward emails received to other email addresses. If on, members will automatically forward by entering the email address to be forwarded in the Filter page of PC Mail settings. If you check the checkbox of 'External forwarding', you will also allow members to automatically forward emails to external email addresses such as Gmail.
        • CalDAV(Only available for the Advanced plan): Check the checkbox to allow members to use CalDAV. With CalDAV, you can check LINE WORKS calendar events on the default calendar app of your iPhone or iPad by connecting them. However, calendar sync via CalDAV settings is not available on Android and mac devices. 
    • Feature Authority: Restrict file downloads from mobile apps to devices. You can set whether to restrict downloads for each service.
