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.

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.
