By default, the mailbox agent itself is set as the owner of all folders and files associated with SMBAGENT, and will have owner access to all files. Additional logons can be granted access as owner or administrator. Default user rights (which apply to any user who is not specifically granted another access) are set to the rights associated with the Reviewer role, that is, to ReadAny, which gives read permission to any message in the folder, but not edit, create, or delete access.
Access Permissions to Public Folders Created by SMBAGENT
| Access Permissions | Rights to SMBAGENT Public Folder |
|---|---|
| READ= | frightsReadAny (read all messages) |
| WRITE | frightsEditAll (modify and save changes for all messages) |
| CREATE | frightsCreate (create message) |
| DELETE= | frightsDeleteAny (delete all messages) |
| OWNER | frightsOwner (allows deletion of folders and modifications to ACL tables) |
| CONTACT | frightsContact (name is displayed as contact in the folder's Summary property page) |
As subfolders are created, the access control list (ACL) created for the root folder is inherited by the subfolders. That is, all users explicitly granted permissions in the root folder also have these rights on the subfolders. An exception is the default user access permissions, which are always ReadAny for subfolders (although the default permission may be changed for the root folder).
Changing default user access permissions is not recommended because problems multiply when users have Edit, Create, and Delete permissions to the folders and messages. Problems that may occur include the following:
