Access rights on Kopano public folders

Apps & App Center
1

Hi,

I noticed that the access rights of public folders do not seem to work.

As described in https://documentation.kopano.io/user_manual_webapp/permissions.html it should be possible to assign certain rights to individual users.

It seems, however, that Kopano is ignoring those rights and simply grants full rights to any Kopano user on the given public folders.

This behavior applies both when using the Kopano DeskApp as well as the last version of Zarafa Outlook Plugin.

How can access rights on public folders be limited?

Hi @ikue,

did you by any chance try this with a user with admin permissions? For an admin folder permissions will always be ignored.

The test was done with both an admin account and normal user accounts. Results were the same. It seems like the rights management is not applied. Is there any “general switch” or other factor which influences this behavior?

Hi @ikue,

I am not able to reproduce the issue you have described. I have a normal user. Logged in with an admin user and changed the permissions of a subfolder in my public folder (removed the “view folder” permission) for my normal user.

Result: the folder is no longer visible for my normal user.
