Hey there, I’m implementing Mailcow in our office and we are using public folder on our old imap-server.
Now we have many departments and I want to create a Mailbox for every department.

I’m trying to create acl groups for every mailbox, so that I only have to add a new colleague to this group, instead of adding him/her to every single mailbox and sub-mailboxes, because I’ve read here

doc.dovecot.org
https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/acl/#acl-inheritance
No preview could be generated for this link
that there is no ACL inheritance.

Unfortunately, I cannot find a documentation on how to create acl groups for dovecat/mailcow, so that I’m currently not able to create such groups and have to permit every single user instead of one group.

My question is: Is it even possible to create acl groups in dovecot/mailcow? Or do I have to use the single users?

Many thanks in advance
Cheers

The_Lux changed the title to Dovecot public folder acl_groups. Can I use them? .

Have something to say?

Hey diekuh
Thanks for the link. I already read through it and configured a few public folder. But in the provided link it only tells me about authenticating single users or “authenticated”. Not how to add users to a group.
I’ve followed the link to the dovecot documentation, too. But I only found, that you can use groups, but not how.
I think mostly they use Linux GIDs, but since we use docker, I don’t know how to do this with mailcow.
