Sleeping is a unique tool in the Phin platform that allows you the control over who receives Phishing and Training campaigns.
There are two ways to sleep users on our platform.
- Sleeping a Group does not sleep the users in that Group across the portal. Sleeping the Group will only block the sync from bringing the Group name into the portal. Thus removing the option to assign campaigns to that specific Group that is slept.
- Groups can only be slept during the sync process
Sleeping Users & Groups during the Azure Sync
All slept users or groups will remove their ability to receive Phishing or Training emails on our platform. This also means these users will not be counted toward billing.
Sleeping Users
To get started, begin by looking at the list of users on the right-hand side. You will see on the right side of each user, under the Action column, an option to Sleep.
To sleep that user click the Sleep button. You will now see that the user has turned grey, indicating that they've been slept.
To wake a user back up, simply click on the Include button.
You will now see that the user has been woken back up. They are now able to receive both Phishing and Training.
Sleeping Groups
To get started, begin by looking at the list of users on the right-hand side. At the top, you will see that Users are currently selected. We need to select Groups.
By selecting Groups, you will now see a list of your groups instead of users. To sleep a group, click on Sleep on the righthand side of the group you'd like to sleep.
Once you click Sleep, that entire group will be slept.
If you'd like to wake a group back up, click Include.
You will now see that that group is now awake and able to receive Phishing and Training.

That user will now be slept. They will show up as grey in the list, and their Status column now says "Slept."
