Allow access to public folders

Article updated on 08 July, 2008

This article explains the necessary changes required to allow access to public folders.

The default permissions on every new public folder restrict access only to the postmaster account.

To share access to a public folder, you need to follow the procedure below:

1. Log in on the webmail interface as the postmaster account of the domain that holds the public folder.
2. Right-Click on the public folder and select the "Sharing" option from the pop-up menu.
3. In the pop-up window click the "Add" button.
4. In the "User / group name" section click the "Select" button.
5. Select "All Users" (or just the account that requires access to the folder) and click the "Add" button.
6. Click the "OK" button.
7. Select from the "Permission level" drop-down box the settings that apply.
8. Click the "OK" button.
9. Click the "Save & Close" button near the top to save all changes.

NOTE: After this process is complete, all users should be able to operate on the folder within the allowed limitations.
