Using Workgroup Manager for Mail Service Access

By default, you use Workgroup Manager to designate which users can use Mail service. You can do this on an individual basis as discussed below, or you can use templates that have mail access enabled when you set up the users.

To enable a user’s mail access using Workgroup Manager:

1In Workgroup Manager, open the user account you want to work with, if it isn’t open.

To open the account, click the Accounts button, click the globe icon below the tool bar menu, and open the directory domain where the account resides. Click the lock to be authenticated. Select the user in the user list.

2Click the Mail tab.

3If the user doesn’t have mail enabled, enable it now.

4Click Save.

Using Access Control Lists for Mail Service Access

Access Control Lists (ACLs) are a method of designating service access to users or groups on an individual basis. For example, you can use an ACL to allow only one user access to a file server or shell login, without allowing any other user on the server

to access it.

Mail service is different from other services that traditionally use ACLs for determining service access. Mail service is already specified on a per-user basis. Either you have a mail account on a server or you don’t. Being a user on a server doesn’t automatically confer access to mail storage and retrieval.
