CLI created PublicFolders ie BB don't have an owner

CLI created PublicFolders ie BB don't have an owner, I suspect thats because we created them with the root account and there is no root scalix account.

omlistbbs shows (no owner) and so does omshowbb -n ##


The issue now becomes how do we change owner of the public folder?

Using ACL's don't change the owner.

The main issue this causes is that PublicFolders created via CLI don't allow and outlook user to change the attributes. Even if the ACL list gives them all the same rights as an owner.
sudo omaddacln -t bb -l ":PublicFolder Name" -n "full name/mailnode" -c create read subfolder editall deleteall owner contact visible

Fact is the Outlook permissions page is grayed out.

ommodbb, ommaintbb and omaddbb don't allow for change of owner or specify the owner on creation.

The Scalix Migration Guide on page 132 says you should create the PublicFolder before you migrate the data. So this causes a bit of a problem then.

I would seem that the only time you would want to use the omaddbb command is when you want a public folder that the admin is the only one who can set the ACLs for.

Problem not solved but understand better!

Since there is no chown equivalent command you must create the lists with a valid Scalix user. That means not Root in our case. Root doesn't get its own mail box, root and other system required email addresses get sent to real users.

Turns out that the default Public Folder permissions allows anyuser to create the base folders. So during the migration, joe user creates the base public folders, then expiry gets set, migrate data then set the ACLs'.

Hope this helps someone
