User level rules

You can view all user rules by navigating to Administration > Retention > Rules > User.

Creating a new user rule

Procedure

1. Navigate to the Boomi Managed File Transfer File sharing (Administrator) site.
2. Click Administration and select "Users."
3. Click the Retention tab and select Modify.
4. Select a definition from the drop-down or add a new definition by selecting a new definition at the bottom of the definition list.

The rule is active by default, and automatic deletion is turned off.

Exclusive vs. Non-Exclusive Rules

By checking the Overwrite all other rules option, the rule becomes exclusive. This rule applies only to the files owned by this user.

This option is helpful for management or users who need to be immune to all other existing and future rules.

You can use the Permanent definition to protect their content. Permanent does not prevent manual deletion, but only ensures that the retention agent does not delete files.
