Example: Applying a Rule to a Specific User or Group

You can use the If User is a member of Condition to apply the Event Rule to one or more specific Groups (By default, all Rules apply to all users.) For example, suppose the Engineering department has its own user administrator for EFT and you want the administrator to get an email when one of the user accounts exceeds its quota. You would set up a User Quota Exceeded Event with an If User Groups Condition and a Send notification email Action, as described below.

To create the Rule

  1. Define an Event Rule using the User Quota Exceeded Event trigger.

  2. Add the If User Groups Condition.

  3. In the Rule Builder, click the specific group(s) link. The Event Target Users and Groups dialog box appears.

  4. Clear the All Users check box and select the check box of one or more Groups to which you want this Rule to apply, and then click OK.

  5. Add the Send notification email Action to the Rule and provide the email address of the user administrator and anyone else you want to receive the email.

  6. Click Apply. The Rule appears similar to the following example:
