Setting up and managing Zivver
Zivver WebApp - Administrator manual
Introduction
This document explains how to manage Zivver for organizations. You can find the administrator settings tune at the bottom left of your screen when you are logged in to the Zivver WebApp. Are the administrator settings missing at the bottom left of your screen? Ask an administrator in your organization to give you administrator rights.

The Organization overview
Organization overview in the WebApp
In the Overview view_compact tab you can see the most important statistics, notifications and settings for your organization at a glance. - Under Statistics you can see the number of administrators, users and the total number of messages sent. - Under Alerts items that demand your attention as administrator are grouped.
Example notifications:
warning Only one administrator has been set up
warning 2 users forgot their passwords
In the overview window you can find all organization settings organized as cards. The organization settings are also shown as tabs in the side panel on the left side of your screen.
Organization account
Organization Account business is where you manage organization identity elements and delete organizations.
Change Organization Name
Enter or change the name of your organization.
Setup organization logo
Zivver will automatically scale the logo to the correct size.
- Has an aspect ratio of 2:1
- Is at least 250 pixels wide and 125 pixels high
Organization branding for guest users
You can select organization branding for guest users. Select an Organization branding and click SAVE. The corporate identity for the host environment ensures that the guest recipients are presented with your organization’s brand elements when using Zivver. You will only see a Standard theme if a guest branding theme is not available.
At the bottom of the Organization account page, a button appears. With this button, you can delete the full organization. The DELETE button only becomes visible when you move the mouse over this section. You must enter your password before you can permanently delete the organization.
After this, all messages and accounts for the organization are deleted.
Branding guest environments
Send this information to your Zivver project manager:
- Contact person in your organization’s communication department
- Organization logo (in RGB) in vector format (for example
.eps
,.ai
or.svg
) - The color code (in RGB) of the primary color and possibly the secondary color of the corporate identity of your organization, Zivver uses these colors to create a color palette for the house style in the guest environment.
- Optional: for the background in the first screen, choose a photo in high resolution, at least 1920 x 1280 pixels.
This data is then forwarded to the Zivver design department. They will make a first draft and share it with your communication department. If you agree with the design, it is developed and tested, and is available in 1-2 weeks. In the meantime, the guest environment can be used, but not your logo can be seen but the Zivver logo.
Enable guest environment branding
As soon as the guest environment is available, you will receive a notification from Zivver. You can then activate guest environment branding in the management panel. For questions about the host environment, you can always contact your project manager.
Organizational Units
From the Zivver perspective Organizational Units (in what follows, “OUs”) are sub-sets of an organization, which include some of the users in an organization, but can have their own administrators, branding and notification settings. Normally, you would map Zivver OUs to existing OUs in your (LDAP) environment.
Add Organizational Units
If you wish to assign different settings to a part of your organization, you must first create a new OU:
- Log in to the Zivver WebApp as an administrator
- Go to tuneOrganization Settings
- Go to powerOrganizational Units
- Click ADD NEW
- Enter a name and an identifier for your new OU
- Press CREATE
Your new OU is created and its name will be displayed in a box, below the page header
OU logo
You can assign a logo to your new organizational unit. This will be displayed in place of the logo of your organization..
- Click to expand the Logo dropdown
- Click UPLOAD LOGO
- Select the appropriate file. The logo is now displayed to the left of the OU header
Click REMOVE LOGO if you ever wish to remove the logo. It is possible to replace the existing logo by simply uploading a new one.
OU branding for guest users
You can choose a branding set to apply to your organizational unit, if customized guest environment brandings have been added:
- Click to expand the Branding for guest users dropdown
A list of brandings is shown - Click to select a branding

A notification that introductory emails are now being sent is displayed.
Zivver supports rich text in introductory emails.
OU Accounts
Zivver users can be assigned to any OU, or to none of them, in an organization. Users which are not assigned to any OUs are assigned to the default organization. To assign users to your new OU from the admin interface, you should:
- Click the newly created OU box
OR click settings then click EDIT
The Organizational Unit page is displayed - Click to expand Accounts
- Click ADD
The list of all accounts in your organization pops up. - Select accounts as needed by clicking the check box in the last column

The accounts have been added to the OU, and a list of accounts is now displayed.
Whenever a user account is moved (to or from an OU), the user is logged out.
It is possible to assign users to an OU using the Zivver SyncTool.
OU log events
Organizational unit event names are prefixed with ‘Organizational unit’. Currently, four event types are logged:
- Organizational unit account moved
- Organizational unit created
- Organizational unit updated
- Organizational unit deleted
Domains
Claiming your domain in Zivver gives you control over all the accounts under your claimed domain on the Zivver platform and is required for the use of following features:
- Preventing your users to create rogue accounts under your domain
- Create email aliases for users
- Single Sign-On
- Automated account provisioning via the Zivver Synctool.
Claim a domain
Hand over a domain
It is possible to hand over the management of Zivver accounts in a domain that has been claimed by a different organization, to that organization.
If a domain with Zivver accounts managed by your organization is successfully claimed by another organization, its status will be shown as not_interested taken
in the domains list.
admin@example.com
cannot hand over the example.com
domain.
Therefore, it may be necessary to create a new admin account to perform a handover.
To hand over the administration of Zivver accounts on the claimed domain to the other organization:
- Press the HAND OVER button.
A confirmation window appears - Choose YES
After a short pause, the domain you have handed over is removed from the domains list
The domain change has succeeded
Adopt Free Accounts
How to adopt accounts for a claimed domain
Notification messages
Notification messages in the WebApp
Zivver sends a notification message when you send a message to a recipient. Under the tab Notifications email you can adjust the contents of the notification message. You can also have a personalized introduction message sent in advance if the recipient has never received a Zivver message. At the bottom of the page, you can modify the sender of the notification message. The sender then becomes the e-mail address of the sender in one of your claimed domains, instead of noreply@zivver.com.
Customize text of notification message
Each notification message has space for personalized text at the bottom, to explain that your organization is safely mailing with Zivver. Contact details of your organization should be included here. This can be useful when recipients have questions about the notification message. The text of the notification can be set separately for each language supported by Zivver.
- Select the language under Language of the notification message.
- Write the text for the notification message in the language you have selected. For example: Write the text in the notification message in English if you selected ‘English’ in step 1.
- Click SAVE.
- Optional: Repeat these steps for another language in step 1. Click SEND EXAMPLE to receive an example of a notification message by e-mail. You then see what the notification message looks like for recipients. This example is sent to the e-mail address with which you are logged in to Zivver. You can send an example to yourself in the languages German, English and Dutch.
Introduce Zivver to new recipients
New guest users can receive an introductory e-mail if they have never received a Zivver message before. In this introduction e-mail you can explain why your organization has chosen to securely mail with Zivver and explain how the recipient can open messages.
You must adjust both the subject and the message of this introductory e-mail. The default values are not ready to use immediately. This is a sample text. Click SEND EXAMPLE to receive a sample e-mail by e-mail. You will see how the e-mail looks for recipients. This example is sent to the e-mail address with which you are logged in to Zivver. Set the switch for Send introduction mail to new recipients to use this functionality. Then click the SAVE button.
DNS settings
To ensure that Zivver servers can send e-mail on behalf of your organization, you should add the appropriate entries to your DNS records.
Zivver checks whether your domain records are set up correctly. The results are displayed in a table at the bottom of the page.
Clicking the keyboard arrow down keyboard_arrow_down on the last row of the table will display the DNS records for that particular domain and show which entries may be missing or misconfigured.
Once the DNS records are set up correctly, Zivver will be able to send emails on behalf of your organization (such as notification e-mails), using the organization domain name(s). This prevents trouble with spam filters and ensures that any bounce messages will be processed by Zivver.
How to set up DNS for Zivver explains SPF, DKIM, SES CODE and CNAME more in-depth.
SPF
SPF (TXT record): verifies that spf.zivver.com
is an authorized host for your organization.
DKIM
DKIM(TXT record): verifies that mail coming from the domain was authorized by the owner.
SES
SES code (TXT record): including this record verifies that your organization actually controls the domain that email is being sent from, for the benefit of Amazon simple email service (SES).
CNAME
CNAME: aliases a subdomain controlled by your organization to the domain used by the Zivver server so that emails sent from Zivver servers can be marked as originating from your organization.
As an administrator, you should create a subdomain called zivverbounce.yourdomain.com
and set your CNAME record to point to that subdomain. Zivver only checks the zivverbounce
subdomain for the existence of a CNAME record. Any other subdomains which you create and add CNAME records to will be ignored.
Names and values (where available) of records that can be added are listed in the table below:
Type | Name | Host | Value |
---|---|---|---|
CNAME | CNAME | zivverbounce.<your_domain> |
returnpath.zivver.com or |
returnpath.zivver.com. |
|||
TXT | DKIM | zivver._domainkey.<your_domain> |
see app.zivver.com/organization/dns-settings |
TXT | SES CODE | <your_domain> |
see app.zivver.com/organization/dns-settings |
TXT | SPF | <your_domain> |
v=spf1 mx include:_spf.zivver.com -all |
DANE
DANE enables domain administrators to specify the keys used by TLS servers or clients in their domain. This removes the need to depend on third-party certificates attesting the keys are legitimate.
Zivver tests for the presence of a TLSA record and of DNSSEC proof.
If DANE is set up correctly for your domain(s), delivery of verified and encrypted SMTP becomes possible. You can then choose to have Zivver directly deliver inbound Zivver messages to your organization.
Inbound Direct Delivery
Zivver messages are not emails, but can be securely delivered as emails when the Inbound Direct Delivery option is enabled. This option is useful in situations where, for example, you want to store incoming messages in a document management system, without having to first export them from Zivver. Inbound Direct Delivery can only be activated if DANE records are present and correct for your domain.
Make arrangements for alternate mail storage security as appropriate in this case.
Toggle Inbound Direct Delivery
You can choose to have Zivver deliver inbound messages directly, as opposed to via Zivver client software. This option is only available if connection security is adequate. To toggle Inbound Direct Delivery:
- Go to the DNS Settings page.
- Scroll down to the Inbound Direct Delivery panel.
- Click the appropriate radio button to toggle Inbound Direct Delivery on for Everyone or to turn it Off.
Proof of delivery reports
Zivver provides proof of delivery for Zivver messages in the form of a proof of delivery report.
The Proof of delivery report has two main purposes: * to inform the sender of a message what the status is of the delivery of their (notification) message. * to provide the sender of a message with detailed information on the delivery process of their message
In some cases, the report will also show whether the message was opened or not.
A proof of delivery report contains
* A summary showing whether the message was indeed sent and delivered and whether it was encrypted in transit.
Inbound Direct Delivery and NTA messages are sent as plaintext.
Zivver event flow from message creation onwards, including, for example, any delivery failures.
If a recipient’s email server does not honor DSN (delivery status notification) requests, failure to deliver a message cannot be detected by Zivver and thus will not be logged.NTA 7516 message status if it applies.
Zivver message revocation status.

Restore access to messages
Under the Accounts page you see an overview of users who have lost access to messages. This happens when users forget their password and create a new password. Zivver messages are encrypted with a key that is based on the password of the account. If the password is reset, the user will receive a new key. This new key no longer fits the lock of the old conversations. Click REKEY ALL to restore access to old messages for users.
Functional accounts
Functional accounts in the WebApp
In previous versions of the management panel, user accounts and functional accounts were separate sections. From version 2.13.24-a all kinds of accounts are located under the Accounts page. All functionalities related to functional accounts can be found under the Accounts chapter in this administrative manual.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single Sign-On (SSO) in the WebApp
Zivver supports logging in via Single Sign-On vpn_key . Users can then log in to Zivver with their workplace login details. They do not have to create a separate password and to remember for Zivver.
SSO works through SAML. Zivver supports the following Identity Providers:
Trusted networks
You can configure trusted networks as such that users in the specified network do not need the additional login, 2FA, for Zivver. This configuration is less safe. You can also prevent that users from outside the trusted network log in to Zivver.
Procedure

Export user data
Export user data in the WebApp
With the function Export user data get_app it is possible to download Zivver messages via File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP lets you download Zivver messages unencrypted as .eml
files.
You can (bulk) export Zivver messages sent from or received by email addresses in your organization as .eml
files. It is possible to export messages from any number of accounts, ranging from one up to all accounts in your Zivver organization. The exported .eml
files contain the corresponding Zivver message bodies, as well as information about the sender, recipient, read receipt and attachments of the exported Zivver messages. Attachments sent through Zivver are also attached to the exported .eml
files.
The Zivver FTP server requires explicit TLS (Transport Layer Security), also known as ftp(e)s. Even though you connect to ftp://
, FTP programs will attempt to set up a secure connection. If that does not work, then no connection will be established, so unsafe connections are not possible.
Activate FTP export
The instructions in this chapter explain how to connect to the Zivver FTP server, but do not pertain to a specific FTP client. Details may vary.
- Log in to the WebApp.
- Go to the tab Export user data get_app .
- Install an FTP program (such as FileZilla).
- Open the FTP program.
- Create a new connection or session.
- Enter as host:
ftp.zivver.com
. - Enter the user name at the bottom of the Export user data page in the Zivver WebApp.
- Enter an API key as a password.
Generate a new API key. - Enter “21” as the port number.
- Optionally specify
FTP
as the protocol. - If necessary, set the encryption to
TLS / SSL Explicit Encryption
. - Confirm the entry.
- Connect.
- If necessary: Click OK to trust the new certificate. This differs per FTP program. FileZilla asks to trust the new certificate when you connect for the first time.
You are now connected to Zivver via FTP. You can download the Zivver messages from your organization as unencrypted .eml
files.
Business rules
Click the Business Rules assignment tab in the left side panel to see which business rules your organization can use. Business rules protect your organization against users inadvertently sending sensitive information in an insecure manner. Business rules automatically check messages and attachments for sensitive content. Triggering a business rule produces one or more warnings based on the content of the message and the attachment. You can set the business rules as desired.
Enable and disable business rules by placing a checkmark under the Enabled column. Determine the security level of the business rules in the Security level column. Learn more about different security levels
Trusted domains list
Choose for which domains you do not need to use Zivver. For example, because the mail system can deliver messages to those domains through an internal relay. For addresses in such domains, Zivver shows the suggestion that it is not necessary to enable Zivver for this message. But the sender can still enable Zivver for that message.
To exempt messages between certain domains from Zivver encryption and authentication:
- Go to the Business rules tab in the WebApp.
- Add the domain(s) that are used by your organization to the Trusted domain list, one per line.
- Add the third-party domain(s) you wish to exclude from Zivver messaging to the Trusted domain list, one per line.
- Press SAVE
The list is updated in the next 5 minutes. The list of domains is automatically sorted in alphabetical order.
Recipient Verification
Recipient Verification in the WebApp
Click Recipient Verification contact_phone in the left side panel to manage default authentication methods for recipients. You can search, upload, edit, and delete default authentication methods. Mobile numbers and shared access codes entered by users are automatically added to the Verification Suggestions list. Users in your organization automatically use the authentication methods in this list. This means that users do not have to choose an authentication method every time they message a known recipient. The advantage for recipients is that they can always use the same verification method.
Zivver automatically chooses the most secure standard authentication method. Users can not change the default authentication method. Only an administrator can change the default. Users can choose to use a different authentication method.
You can set a default authentication method for recipients in two different ways: manually and via a .csv
file.
Manually add verification suggestion
- Click the add button person_add .
A new window opens. - Enter the first name and last name.
- Enter the e-mail address.
- Enter a mobile phone number. Can’t use a mobile phone number? Then enter an Access Code in the following steps.
- Enter an access code.
- If necessary, enter a hint for the access code. The hint is added in the notification message for the recipient.
Learn more about the security level of the SMS code and Access Code
Import verification suggestions csv file
- Click the upload button publish .
A new window opens. - Download the sample file.
- Fill the sample file with the correct data. The file indicates how to write down the recipient control to be imported.
- Click the upload button publish .
A new window opens. - Click the UPLOAD button. Zivver checks the file and shows a preview on the next screen.
Under the tab REJECTED you can see entries that are not correct, with reasons listed. Entries under the REJECTED tab are not included in the import. Under the tab ACCEPTED the entries are correct. These inputs are included in the import.
Manage verification suggestions
Adjust a verification suggestion by clicking the edit edit icon on the right side of your screen. You can change the name, e-mail address, authentication method and value.
Remove a shared recipient check by clicking Delete delete_forever on the right side of your screen. The shared recipient check is no longer available to users.
Search verification suggestions
You can search shared recipient control by email address and name. Click Search search at the top right of your screen to search.
Message revocation
Zivver messages can be revoked after sending, either for every participant (including the sender) or just for recipients. Message revocation can be scheduled to occur after a set period, or immediately. Access revocation is designed to fulfill two major functions: - You can withdraw a message that was sent in error. - You can comply to rule where laws or organizational policy require that copies of messages are not kept indefinitely.
Set message revocation defaults
As an administrator, you can set a default period of time after which Zivver messages sent from your organization expire in the Messages Revocation tab. You can choose to remove messages from recipients’ Zivver inboxes (revoke for Recipients), or remove them entirely (revoke for Everyone).
To set an organization-wide message revocation interval:
- Go to the Messages Revocation tab.
- Toggle Set a default expiration date
- Input a suitable interval and time unit in the respective boxes.
- Choose whether to revoke messages for Recipients only, or for Everyone.
Even if an organization-wide revocation interval is set, users can still modify the default interval and default action at any point before the set revocation date.
Verification Methods
Verification Methods in the WebApp.
In the Organization-wide Verification Methods pane, administrators can choose which recipient verification methods can be used by users in their organization, as well as decide on how these are used. An explanation of the various options available is presented below:
- Access code
Zivver will send a notification message to the recipient with a link to the secure web portal. Your organization should separately communicate the personal access code with the recipient beforehand so that they can access the message.- Access code to personal contact

KPIs
This section offers an at-a-glance overview of Zivver usage in your organization.
Number of accounts that sent at least one Zivver message in the selected period. It is unusual for everyone in an organization to be expected to send secure messages regularly. You must compare this metric compared against how many people in your organization you’d actually expect to be sending sensitive information.
For messages sent from a delegated account, the account that initiated sending the message is counted as the sender. This means that messages from functional accounts are not counted in this metric.Number of messages that were sent securely after a business rule was triggered. Gives an indication of the amount of sensitive information shared in the organization
Number of Zivver messages that were manually revoked by the user before they were read by any recipient.
Does not include scheduled revocations.Percentage of messages sent with Zivver after a business rule was triggered.
This metric only works if logging non-Zivver messages is enabled for the organization. If it is not, the number shown will always be 100%. This is because only messages sent from clients able to send and log both Zivver and non-Zivver messages (that is, users of Zivver Office Plugin and Zivver Outlook Web Access Add-in) are counted and from accounts that have opted in to log non-Zivver messages.Percentage of Zivver message recipients secured with a verification method other than Email verification.
