Best Practice - Mesh Unified

  • Apply Existing Global Rules - Apply existing global rules to this new customer account.

  • MSP Management Allows the MSP to login to the customer account for management purposes. If this is disabled, the customer account can be managed by anyone with an administrator role at customer level.

  • Two-Factor Authentication This will force administrators/users that log into the customer-level portal to configure two-factor authentication. It does not affect the login as function from MSP level.

  • Monitor Mode (Mesh 365 Only) Mesh scans all emails and provide verdicts, but no actions are taken.
    It can be beneficial to start in monitor mode for a few days. See why ⟶


Step 6: Account Type

  • Buy Now will start the billing period immediately.

  • Free 14-days trial automatically converts to billable after 14 days unless terminated.

  • NFR (Not for resale) is only for use on your MSP domain (maximum of 50 licenses).


Once you’ve submitted the form, the account will be created instantly and you will receive confirmation by email. The next step is to complete the install.
