The rules feature lets you define actions and notifications that are triggered by specific events. You can set up rules to prevent or allow actions (such as downloading a file or creating a folder) and to send notifications via email, pager or SMS. A rule can also execute a program on the server when the event occurs.
Rules can be applied to any combination of users and user groups.
There are four types of rules:
Failed Login Rules can be configured to trigger a notification and/or disable a user account after the specified number of failed login attempts. For more information, see Creating a Failed Login Rule.
Folder Action Rules are used to trigger a notification when a user performs a specified folder or file action on the server, including uploading a file or folder, downloading a file or folder, renaming a file or folder, deleting a file or folder, or creating a folder. Folder action rules can be configured to execute when one of these events succeeds and/or fails. For more information, see Creating Folder Action Rules.
Quota Limit Rules are used to govern the amount of disk space and the number of files users can upload to their home folders. For more information, see Creating a Quota Limit Rule.
Bandwidth Limits are used to throttle the amount of bandwidth a connection can consume. For more information, see Creating a Bandwidth Limit.
