Receive a secure message
If the secure message was flagged as High priority, it will appear directly in the web interface upon the user's next session start or promptly if they are already logged in. If not, a blue dot will appear on the message icon to signify the user has unread messages.
- Click on the Messages button.
- Click on the new message in the inbox. Unread messages have a blue tint.
This is what the message interface looks like:
When viewing a message, the recipient sees the following information:
- The sender's name.
- The subject and body text of the message.
- The time the message was sent and, if applicable, its expiration time.
- The name of any attachments.
The user has access to the following actions:
- Reply: Opens a window to reply to the currently viewed message.
- Close: Closes the currently open message window without deleting it. The message will be marked as read.
- Save in user vault: Automatically saves all attachments in the recipient's user vault. This action is available only if the message includes attachments.
- Save as: Opens a window allowing the recipient to specify the location for saving the attachments within the Devolutions Hub. This action is available only if the message includes attachments.
