Modifying the list of users to protect [Microsoft 365 - Inline] - POC only

During or after onboarding a Microsoft 365 Inline integration, you can modify the set of users that are protected - called partial protection. This is done by modifying the redirect rule, as described below.

Important: Partial protection described on this page should be used for POC installations only. If partial protection is configured for an organization with a Commercial contract type, then billing will be based on the number of licenses that are included in the Microsoft 365 account - not on the number of "partial protection" users. See Integration - License source [Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Collaboration].

The procedure below differs slightly depending on whether you want to protect:

  • entire domains

  • a group or groups of users

  • just one specified user

  1. In the Exchange admin center, click Mail flow > Rules.
    [Click here: https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/#/transportrules]

  2. Open the following rule: Perception Point Redirect Rule

  3. Configuring the routing rule

    In this step, you use a routing rule to define the users that will be protected by "Acronis Email Security". You can specify to protect all the users in the domain [full protection], or just a sub-set of the users in the domain [partial protection].

    Note: The procedure below differs slightly depending on whether you are implementing the scanning to protect:

    • an entire domain

    Full protection

    • a group or groups of users

    Partial protection

    • just a few specified users

    Partial protection

    IMPORTANT: If you select one of the partial protection options above, make sure to inform your Account Executive/VAR/CSM for "Acronis Email Security" so that the correct billing arrangements will be implemented.

    1. Under Apply this rule if, select one of the following options:

      To protect...
