Additional Important Information

• When Manual Archiving is configured, all users in an inclusion list can manually archive items using Archive Assistant if any of these options are enabled.
  
  
• After enabling Archive Restrictions, always click Manage Restrictions to add the list of users, groups, or mailboxes to be restricted. The configured restrictions do not come into effect if the list is not generated.

Testing

After enabling restrictions users can confirm if the setting is in place by navigating to the Archiver Console > Archive Tab, and reviewing archived mail for the user. If no new mail is being archived for the user then the restriction is in place.
