Enforcement
Enforcement is the term used where you configure Fortra Cloud Email Protection to move identified messages from your users' inboxes to a special folder. It is sometimes referred to as API enforcement because messages are moved by using an API (application programming interface) that communicates programmatically between Cloud Email Protection and your users' mailboxes.
The enforcement action is an enhancement to policies. In addition to logging and alerting, you can configure the system so that matching messages are moved to a folder you designate.
If you use Office 365 or G Suite as your mail store and have enabled Enforcement (see Configure Enforcement: Office 365 using MS Graph API for Hosted Sensor or Configure Enforcement: G Suite), you can choose to have matching messages deleted or moved out of the inbox and into a designated folder. You can also create a "Allow list" policy by choosing to move messages to the inbox when matching a set of policy conditions.
TIP: An enforce action can be used in combination with a notification to the original recipients so that end users could receive a notification every time a Cloud Email Protection moves a message based on a policy condition match.
Enforcement actions on a message that matches multiple enforcement policies will occur in the following priority order:
- Inbox
- Delete
- Default folder move
- Additional folder moves in the order set in organization enforcement settings (see Organization Settings).
NOTE: API Enforcement is available for Office 365, Exchange (2010, 2013, 2016 and 2019), and G Suite environments only.
