Managing the Quarantine for Child Accounts
If your account has provisioning rights and you manage child accounts with Email Security, it is possible to manage the Quarantine area (subject to the child account granting remote management rights) but you must use an administrator that is not associated with an existing mailbox. Logging in as a user with administrator privileges that is also a valid mailbox will lock the Quarantine view to the users own account and quarantine, therefore viewing a child account quarantine will show zero results.
