A user account that has been aliased by others should be able to see a full list of who has aliased them and possibly be able to remove them. Use case: Filedrop created for devteam@example.com Added devteam@example.com as an alias for Alice, Bob and Carol. Alice, Bob, and Carol, can all see the email notification that is sent out to the devteam@example.com distribution list, and any one of them can log in to their own accounts and download any shared files. Carol moves to a different department. Alice, the dev team manager, logs into the devteam@example.com liquidfiles account and views the list of people who have set devteam@example.com as an alias and sees that Carol still has it aliased. Option 1: Alice clicks "remove" next to Carol's name. Option 2: Alice emails the Systems Administrator to remove devteam@example.com as an alias for Carol.
Has there been any response or did you find an answer to this question? I am wondering the same thing, similarly when a request comes in for a new alias I assume there is a place in the admin console to see active requests vs just clicking/opening the URL in the email which just "confirms/approves" the request. I get the idea of aliases just not clear on what steps we need to do when in a hybrid environment (o365, w/on-prem LF server). Not understanding how to leverage the LDAP for this or if we just manually add to a user LF account.
KRP, I have not received any response or update to this. We are about to go live with LiquidFiles in my organization. and this would be a very good feature to have. if this is not possible, it would be good to at least have a sysadmin view of aliases. So I don't have to click on each user to see if they have aliases or not. A dashboard that shows all accounts that have been aliased with a sublist of accounts that have aliased them is a much needed feature. For example: ALIASED ACCOUNTS: devteam@example.com alice@example.com bob@example.com carol@example.com support@example.com carol@example.com david@example.com Clicking on any of the above emails should take you to the account for the specified user. When looking at an account that has been aliased a sysadmin user should also be able to see a list of people who have the account aliased.
I sent in a ticket to ask about this a while back and the response was that there is not a way to do this in the user interface. One thing that you can do though is connect to the console and run: sudo psql sfta -c "select slug,email,sender_aliases,recipient_aliases from users" This will show you a list of all users and it will show what aliases each user as assigned to them.
Bumping this feature request again. Aliases should be managed by the user account who is being aliased. I am currently creating about 10 system filedrops, each of which need about 5 users to be able to alias the recipient accounts for these system filedrops. I should be able to go to the 10 group email address local user accounts I created and add the list of people who can alias them. Instead I need to go to 50 user accounts and add the aliases on each one. Using CC does not work for us, because these filedrops will be high volume and we don't want users to be inundated with email notifications.
I see, but I don't think this feature will be implement soon in the LF appliance. For this scenario where is needed to handle many aliases it could help to manage them out of the LF box via LDAP/AD attributes. You would set the required Reciepint and Senders alias emails on the user accounts in your AD/LDAP tree. Then on the LF server in the "Admin > Configuration > LDAP" settings could be these LDAP attributes mapped into the "Recipient Aliases Attribute" and "Sender Aliases Attribute" claims. During logins these attributes would be then updated dynamically for users.
