Introduction

This document explains how to create a functional account. Functional accounts are used for general e-mail addresses such as info@zivver.com or helpdesk@zivver.com. Functional accounts are also called shared accounts or shared mailboxes. Users can not log in to a functional account initially, but must be granted access by administrators. Zivver users are automatically logged in for the functional accounts assigned to them when they log in with their user account credentials.
