In addition to the SecureLine and Forced SSL enhancements, a few other changes have been made to the Account Administration pages:
- Users’ “Email Encryption” preferences can now be viewed and edited by account administrators under the “Manage Your Users” section of the Account Administration pages.
- The Theme Management tool for administrators with Private Labeled WebMail has been enhanced to allow more customization of the WebMail login pages. Administrators can now customize the titles of the login pages and optionally remove the “Forgot Password” link from the login page.

LuxSci’s account management API now supports a new command called “Copy Preferences”. This command allows you to copy all of the preferences that one user has to another user in your account. Thus, it is easy to force a user to have the same regional preferences and WebMail behavior as any other user of your choice.
User Creation Update:When an account administrator creates a new user via the LuxSci portal or via the API, the new user’s complete preferences will be copied from the account’s main administrator. Previously, just selected regional preferences were copied. Now, all applicable preferences are copied, making the new user’s initial experience as close to that as the main account administrator’s as possible.
Note that if you are creating new users via the API, you can optionally specify any existing user from which to copy the new user’s preferences.

LuxSci has made several enhancements to its account administration tools. These include:
- Account administrators can now view and modify their users’ General WebMail Preferences in their user management pages.
- The monthly account bandwidth usage report available to web hosting clients in the Reports page now shows the monthly relative contribution of FTP bandwidth and HTTP bandwidth to the overall bandwidth usage.
- We have added a new section to accounts’ billing information page. For accounts who have opted into automatic credit card payments, this section shows you what billing information was used, who opted into these payments, and when. It also allows you to update the email address and phone number associated with these automated payments and to terminate these payments.
- WebMail Session Timeouts: Up to now, WebMail sessions have had a 2 hour timeout. I.e. if you are idle for 2 hours or more, you need to re-login before performing a new action. Now, in their advanced account administration page, account administrators can change this timeout to be anywhere from 5 minutes to 8 hours. Users can also configure their own personal WebMail session timeouts in their General WebMail Preferences; this personal timeout will override the account-wide one. However, account administrators can force these personal timeouts to be equal or less than their global timeout if security policies require it.

- The User Management pages have been revised to grant account administrators more control over being able to configure their users without needing to login as the user him/herself. Among other things, account administrators can now review and configure the following email tools for their users: Email Filtering, Basic Spam and Virus Filtering, Email Forwarding, Email Folders, WebMail Signatures, and Email AutoResponders.
- A new “Database Management” tool has been added under your Account Administration page. Administrators of web hosting accounts can use this tool to manually add and delete MySQL databases in their account.
- A new “Reports” section under your Account Administration page consolidates all global reports and also includes information about current disk and bandwidth usage.
- A new “Advanced Administration Tools” page has been added under your Account Administration page. This page gives account administrators the ability: 1. to configure their account’s password strength checking rules, 2. to optionally disable the change password tool so users cannot change their own passwords, 3. to enable automatic deletion and/or disabling of users who have not logged in in a long time, 4. to change the main account administrator, 5. to change the default domain for the account, and 6. to change their account disk and bandwidth quota types. Accounts with access to our API will also find their API configuration tools here.

- The Account Administration page has been completely revised. This page no longer shows detailed account information; it is now an easy-to-use index to all of the various account administration tools.
- A new page called “General Account Information” has been created under your Account Administration page. This page consolidates all of the detailed global information about your account into one location. It contains: general account status, a list of all account limits, account quotas, service levels, permissions, services, and a list of servers to which the account has been assigned.
- A revised “Web Site Management” section has been added. This section includes all of the features of the old section, but in a new format that is identical to the User Management and Domain Management sections of your account.
- Your alternate billing address and billing email can now be configured in your “Billing Information” page.
- The “Email Aliases” tool is now located directly under the “email” menu. It is also one of the main options in your new Account Administration page.
- If you use our Theme Manager tool for your private labeled WebMail, you will find a link to this tool in your Account Administration page. The “Theme Manager” menu option has been removed from the “web” menu.
- Users of our Account Automation API will find their API configuration tools under the new “Advanced Administration Tools” pages.
