Scalix Forums

I am not sure if I am posting this in the correct forum but I do have a question about setting up public folders and permissions on these folders. What I would like to do is set up a few different public folders for example sales and a second folder called support. I would like to be able to make groups called sales and support and add users to them. I would then like to be able to allow only members of these groups to access there respective folders and not have them open to other users on the server. Is there an elegant way to do this by groups or will I have to add individual users to each folder as needed?

I'm afraid that currently what you are after is not possilbe. We are anticpating this capability in our next major release due Q3 2006.

As a temporary workaround, (while we wait for the next release, and if you're proficient with scripting), you can write a shell/perl script that

1) run omshowpdln -l "listname"
2) delete all the permissions on a folder with the omdelacln command
3) add the permissions back in with omaddacln

and run this periodically.
