Protecting Panelists’ E-Mail Addresses against Unauthorized Access

Optionally, you can ensure that e-mail addresses of panelists in the admin area are hidden for specific user teams.

Various rights enable you to hide the e-mail addresses in specific menus. The following table provides an overview.
The new rights are fully integrated into the EFS rights system. I.e. they should be used in combination with existing ACL rights and object rights. For user teams who are not supposed to access panelists’ e-mail addresses, for example, you should revoke not only the new rights, but read rights for “show_ppasswd” and “mail_passwords” as well: They grant access to panelist passwords in the panelists administration resp. in the mail preview, i.e. users can log in as a panelist and view the e-mail address on the website.

Rights	Meaning
mail_cc	With read rights, you can define the additional recipient options CC and BCC in mail templates and mail dispatch processes. If you intend to use this right, please check the manual “EFS Survey” for further advice.
mail_email_mailadmin	With read rights, you can view the e-mail addresses of mails in the mail queue.
mail_email_preview	With read rights, you can view the recipients’ e-mail addresses in the mail preview.
mail_reply	With read rights, you can define the additional options “Reply-To”, “Return-Path” and “Read confirmation” in mail templates and mail dispatch processes. If you intend to use this right, please check the manual “EFS Survey” for further advice.
panel_email_bonus	With read rights, you can view the e-mail addresses of the panelists in the bonus system. Please note that this right does not affect the e-mail addresses contained in the bonus points log: if you do not want user teams to access them, rights for “panel_log” should be revoked.
panel_email_contacts	With read rights, you can view the e-mail addresses of the panelists in the contacts management system.
panel_email_export	With read rights, you can export the e-mail addresses of panelists with the panel data export.
panel_email_gratification	With read rights, you can view e-mail addresses of panelists in the edit dialog of prize draws.

Messages

As a moderator, you can use the messaging functionality as well, of course. If you want to address panelist groups instead of individual persons, a dedicated feature in the admin area allows to send messages which are displayed in the inbox on the website but not dispatched by e-mail. You can find the new feature in the admin area in the menu People → Contacts → Messages.

Similar to other moderation features, moderator and test accounts can be selected as senders. Please ensure that visibility is activated for first name and/or name of the used account. Otherwise the recipients may have problems to understand who sent the message.
All groups of the panel can be addressed.
The dispatched messages are logged.
Both this new messaging function and read access to the panelists’ private messages in the admin area is protected by ACL rights (panel_send_private_message and panel_view_private_message).
