Edit Access Control
The Access Control List (ACL) is used for setting user or group access permissions for your public and shared folders. To reach this page, select a folder on the Public Folder Manager (Setup » Public Folders » Public Folder Manager) or Shared Folders page and click Edit Access Control. The Access Control List displays all users and groups that have been granted some level of access to the associated shared folder, and each entry displays the level of access that has been granted. The access level is indicated by a one letter abbreviation for each Access Right granted to the user or group.
Adding or Editing Access Rights
To add a user or group to the folder's access control list and set the user's access rights, click New on the toolbar. To edit an existing user, select the user and click Edit.
Access Rights
Email address
Enter the email address of the MDaemon user or users (separated by commas) that you wish to grant some level of access to the folder. If you wish to grant the access to all of a domain's users, enter then address, "anyone@<domain>". For example, anyone@example.com. If you wish to grant access to a Group, enter "GROUP:<group_name>". For example, GROUP:MyGroup_1.
Access Rights List
Click the box next to any rights that you wish to grant to the user or group, and then click Save.
You can grant the following Access Control Rights:
Lookup (l) – user can see this folder in their personal list of IMAP folders.
Read (r) – user can open this folder and view its contents.
Write (w) – user can change flags on messages in this folder.
Insert (i) – user can append and copy messages into this folder.
Create (c) – user can create sub-folders within this folder.
Delete (d) – user can delete messages from this folder.
Set Seen Flag (s) – user can change the read/unread status of messages in this folder.
Administer (a) – user can administer the ACL for this folder.
Post (p) – user can send mail directly to this folder (if folder allows).ss Rights list, select the desired entry and then click Remove.
Help
Click Help to display a list of the access rights and their definitions.
Applying Access Rights to Sub-folders
On the Access Control List, click Apply to sub-folders if you wish to replace all sub-folder group and user access rights with the parent folder's current rights. The child folder access rights will then be identical to the parent folder.

Access rights are controlled through MDaemon's support for Access Control Lists (ACL). ACL is an extension to the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4), which makes it possible for you to create an access list for each of your IMAP message folders, thus granting folder access rights to other users who also have accounts on your mail server. If your email client doesn't support ACL you can still set the permissions via the controls on this dialog. ACL is fully discussed in RFC 2086, which can be viewed at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2086.txt. |
