Access Rights
This area is for designating the MDaemon user accounts or groups that you wish to grant access to the associated shared folder, and for setting the access permissions for each one. You can reach this dialog from the Folder Listing screen (click "Setup » Default Domain/Servers » Public & Shared Folders » Folder listing/ACLs"). Double-click the desired folder, or click the folder and then click Edit access control list, to open the Access Control List for that folder. Each entry lists the email address of the account and a one letter Access Level abbreviation for each Access Right that you grant to the user.

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. |
