## Configuring Search & Destroy Access Accounts

Search & Destroy requires administrators to configure two access accounts before use: an Active Directory service account and the Search & Destroy Administrator for ScanMail.
Create the Active Directory service account and add the account to the Exchange Discovery Management group. ScanMail uses this service account to perform the backend mailbox searches.
The Search & Destroy Administrator in ScanMail is a specialized account that permits users to access all Search & Destroy features. Search & Destroy is not visible to any user (Administrator or Operator) if the user is not also a Search & Destroy administrator.

| ##### Note The Search & Destroy feature only provides support for mailbox servers running Exchange 2010 Service Pack 1 or above, Exchange 2013, or Exchange 2016. The Search & Destroy Operator role can only configure mailbox searches and view results.

### Procedure

1. Go to Administration → Access Control.
2. Click the Search & Destroy role to configure.
3. Optionally, modify the Search & Destroy description.
4. Search for users or groups to add to the Search & Destroy role.
5. In the Available Account(s) list, select the accounts to add to the role and click Add >>.
6. Click Save.
   The Access Control screen appears.
7. To the right of the Search & Destroy role, click the Status icon to enable the role.

8. Click Save.
9. Log off from the ScanMail console and log on using an account with a Search & Destroy role to use the feature.
