Editing user details - Amazon WorkMail

When you edit the user details, you can change the following:

  • Personal data – Names, email address, phone numbers, and other personal details.

  • Mailbox quotas (sizes) – Quotas can range from 1 MB to 51,200 MB (50 GB). Amazon WorkMail notifies users when they reach 90 percent of their quota. Also, changing a user's mailbox quota won't affect pricing. For more information about pricing, refer to Amazon WorkMail Pricing.

  • Mobile device access – Remove and wipe devices, and view device details.

  • Mailbox access permissions – Grant users permission to use a mailbox, and grant users different levels of access to the mailbox.

  • Personal access tokens (when IAM Identity Center is enabled) – View and delete personal access tokens.

Note

If you integrate Amazon WorkMail with an AD Connector directory, you can't edit these details from the AWS Management Console. Instead, you must edit them using your Active Directory management tools. Limitations apply when your organization is in interoperability mode. For more information, see Limitations in interoperability mode.
