Managing your Public Folders in the Link2Exchange Control Panel
Document: Q1133
Overview:
Before you can use your Link2Exchange Public Folders, you must create the base folder in the Link2Exchange control panel and give your users permission to access it. Below is the default configuration to do so. You can modify permissions in many ways. (See Microsoft's Knowledge Base for details.)
Because of the shared nature of the Link2Exchange system, you have to be careful of how you modify public folder permissions. There are several 'Global' level groups that you do not want to give any permissions to normally. These groups are: Anonymous and Default. Giving permissions to these groups can give other users on the Link2Exchange system access to your public folders.
Procedure:
- Log into your Link2Exchange Control Panel as admin@domain.com.
- Under Hosted Exchange 2003 or Hosted Exchange 2007, click public folders.
- If a public folder already exists, skip to the section below titled 'Grant your Users permission to use the Public Folders'.
- If no public folder exists, add a public folder.
- Click add public folder.
- Next to Name, type PublicFolders (without any spaces or unusual characters or you'll get an error message).
- Next to Display Name, type Public Folders.
- Next to Alias Name, type public-folders.
- Put a check next to Hide Public Folder From Address List.
- Click Add.
- Grant your Users permission to use the Public Folders
- Click the radio button next to your Public Folder name.
- Click Manage Permissions.
- Click Add Permissions.
- Next to SAM Account Name, select AllUsers@domain.com.
- Next to Select a role, select Publishing Editor. (See below for a link to the roles and their permissions.)
- Click Add.
