Preventing users from creating public folders?

Hi,

is there a way to prevent users from creating public folders? I've read the admin guide, but it only says that public folders can be created from the clients, but not if it is possible to prevent this.

Ok, I found out how to do it:

Code: Select all

ommodacln -t bb -l 0 -g "Local Users" -c -subfolder


The 0 is the "BULLETIN BOARD AREA". Setting -c -subfolder will prevent users from creating public folders.

Hi,

Just wondering whether you tried logging in using IMAP/SWA after modifying those permissions, as last time I tried modifying the default permissions on the public folders on my test setup, I locked myself out of IMAP/SWA as the system couldn't look up the details in the public folders.

Hi,

I did a use the SWA afterwards (in fact, SWA is my main client, as the Evolution connector doesn't show the calender or public folders), and everything works fine.

Connecting via Outlook is also ok.
