organization has territory management. Choose a set of users from the
Search dropdown list. Then select the desired value from the

Email template folders can only contain email templates. You can create new email templates in the folder or move existing email templates on their Edit page.
Note Email templates that are used by Web-to-Case, Web-to-Lead, assignment rules, or escalation
rules must be marked as “Available for Use.”
