Environment

  1. Open the following file in Notepad: ..\Archiver\ASPNET\UI\web.config
  2. Search for the following line: <add key="HideBCCForNormalUsers" value="false"/>
    Note: By default, this key is set to false.
  3. Set the value to true to hide BCC field for users that do not have the View All Emails permission.

It is therefore suggested to keep a record of this procedure and follow it once again directly after upgrading to keep this functionality intact.
