Accessing emails of deleted users in FocalScope

As employees leave your company, you may decide to delete their FocalScope user account. In most systems, this would mean the deletion of every email in that user's account. In FocalScope, it is possible to access the emails of a deleted user account, in the event that you need to refer to a past interaction or incident with a customer. This article details how you can give individual administrators access rights to deleted user accounts, as well as how to view and recover emails from these deleted accounts.
